Answer:
There was no effect of this share issue on the price per share
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the pre-issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = Numbers of outstanding shares x Market value per share = 158,000,000 shares x $55 per share = $8,690,000,000
Now calculate the issuance values
Numbers of shares issued = 30,000,000 shares
Vaue of issued equity = NUmbers of shares issued x Mrket value per share = 30,000,000 x $55 per share = $1,650,000,000
Now determien the post issuance value
Numbers of outstanding shares = 158,000,000 shares + 30,000,000 shares = 188,000,000 shares
Total Value of equity = $8,690,000,000 + $1,650,000,000 = $10,340,000,000
Now calcuate the Value per share
Value per share = Post Issuance Total value of equity / Post issuance total numbers of shares = $10,340,000,000 / 188,000,000 shares = $55 per share
There is no effect of share issue on the price of the share.
Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $35,640 and variable expenses of $8,910. Product Y45E had sales of $31,680 and variable expenses of $12,672. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $20,000. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:
Answer:
Would Decrease

Contribution ( C = A-B) $26,730 $19,008 $45,738
Contribution Margin Ratio
( D = C ÷ A) 75% 60% 67.94%
The break even point would be decreased as for the product C90B the contribution margin ratio is increased as compared with the product Y45E
The income statement of a proprietorship for the month of February indicates a net income of $17,500. During the same period, the owner withdrew $25,500 in cash from the business for personal use. Would it be correct to say that the business incurred a net loss of $8,000 during the month
Answer:
It Would NOT
Explanation:
Based on the information given it Would NOT be correct for us to say that the business incurred a net loss of the amount of $8,000 during the month reason been that the amount the owner withdrew which is the amount of $25,500 in cash from the business for his personal use is the Dividend which simply indicate that the excess amount of the Dividend over the net income amount which is $8,000($25,500-$17,500)will tend to lead to a reduction in the amount of business retained earnings.
During a meeting with a potential customer, you are asked to explain the difference between two different types of systems that your company is developing. Although you feel confident that you correctly explained the systems, after the meeting you realize that you inadvertently confused some of the characteristics, and partly described a third system that the customer had not even asked about. The systems are still prototypes and there is no publicly available information about them, so it is unlikely that the potential customer will realize that you confused the systems and are not up-to-date on your company's products. What should you do?
Answer:
First, update your knowledge of the company's product (especially at this development stage). The purpose is for a demonstration of general knowledge and not for you to provide all the technical details to the potential customers. So, try to stick to the claims about the product's performance and not the details.
Secondarily, request for the documentation of research and development activities. This will provide some literature for the sales and marketing efforts to be effective. Study the available data about the product development, customer requirements, and lifecycle.
Explanation:
In marketing newly developed products, the marketing personnel should bear in mind that effective communication of value to the potential customers is what is required at the initial stage, without too much details. The effort should be to convince customers of the value of the products under development.

The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Use this information to answer the following questions.
Beginning inventory 10 units at $55
First purchase 25 units at $60
Second purchase 30 units at $65
Third purchase 15 units at $70
The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold.
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is:________
a. $1,350
b. $1,150
c. $1,375
d. $1,250
Answer:
The value of ending inventory using FIFO is $1,375
Explanation:
Under FIFO the items of inventory purchases earlier will be sold first and the items purchased later will be sold at last.
First, we need to calculate the total available inventory units
Numbers of units available to sale = Beginning Inventory + First purchase + Second purchase + Third purchase = 10 units + 25 units + 30 units + 15 units = 80 units
Now 60 units out of 80 are sold the remaining 20 units ( 80 units - 60 units ) will be in the ending inventory.
As per FIFO 20 units will be values as per the last 20 units purchases which will be as follow
Ending Invetory = ( 15 units x $70 ) + ( (20-15) units x $65 ) = $1,375
What is a commodity

Something useful or valuable.
Explanation:
The basic economic questions that any provider of goods must ask are:
• What will be produced?
• Who will produce it?
• For whom will it be produced?
In which type of economy are these decisions made solely by the
government?
A. Mixed
B. Free
C. Command
D. Traditional
Answer:
C. Command
Explanation:
In a command economy, the government owns and controls all the factors of production. All the factors of production are owned and controlled by the government. The government does all the productions through its agencies.
The government prepares central economic plans that guide the country's economic activities. The central plans indicate what goods and services will be produced, their quantities, and prices. The plans also dictate how distributions will be done in the country.
Assume the following shares outstanding: Preferred stock, 5%, $100 par value, noncumulative, 1,000 shares. No dividends were declared or paid in 2010 or 2011. Common stock, $1 par value, 2,000 shares. Total dividends declared in 2012 were $50,000. The total amount of dividends to which common stockholders are entitled is
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of dividend paid to the common stockholder is given below:
But before that the dividend that to be paid to preference stockholder is
= Face value × Number of shares outstanding × Dividend rate
= $100 × 1,000 shares × 5%
= $5,000
The total dividend declared is $50,000
So, the balance is to be paid to common stockholder i.e.
= $50,000 - $5,000
= $45,000
Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total machine-hours 31,500 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 220,500 Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job T687 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 10 Total machine-hours 40 Direct materials $ 685 Direct labor cost $ 1,370 If the company marks up its unit product costs by 40% then the selling price for a unit in Job T687 is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2575
Explanation:
Total variable overhead estimated=(6*31,500)= $189,000
Hence total overhead estimated=Total variable overhead estimated+Total fixed overhead estimated = $189,000 + $220,500 = $409,500
Hence, predetermined overhead rate = $409,500 / 31,500 = $13 per machine hour
Hence, total overhead applied=(13*400) = $520
Hence, total job cost=Direct material+Direct labor+Total overhead = $685 + $1,370 + $520 = $2575
Marcus was offered a job as a senior manager by Super Corp. The offer, which was made over the phone, was for a three-year contract for $120,000 salary per year. Marcus orally accepted, there was no writing. The state in which Marcus was offered the job requires that such contracts be in writing. Marcus quit his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and headed to the state where Super Corp was headquartered. When he arrived, the director at Super Corp who had originally offered him the job said that they were revoking and that there was no contract, as Marcus never signed an employment agreement. If Marcus sues Super Corp, what is the likely result
,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

Answer:
(Competion____________ ) among buyers and sellers prohibits a single buyer or seller can dictate the price of a product or resource because others can undercut that price. The regulatory mechanism of the market system is ( competition___________ ). As the result, the ( _economic_________ ___power_____ ) is widely distributed. In other words, competition diffuses ( __economic________ ___power______ ) and limits the actions of any single seller or buyer.
Explanation:
Economic power refers to the ability of countries, businesses, or individuals to improve their standard of living, making decisions that benefit themselves alone, and reducing the ability of any outside force to reduce their freedom. Competition refers to the selling and buying of goods and services with others, who are also selling and buying the same goods and services. It balances economic power, preventing a single individual from monopolizing the market interaction.

What differentiates the master builder approach prior to the Renaissance from later approaches?
A. The architect and engineer roles are clearly separated into separate project phases.
B. Knowledge is confined to particular individuals and not shared or formalized into a recognizable set of standards.
C. The engineering and construction roles dominated projects because architectural designs were so simple.
D. Projects do not depend on individual knowledge but leverage the total knowledge of the team.
Answer:
Design-Build, though not new as a delivery method for building projects, appears to be on the rise. Traditionally known as the Master-Builder method, it is a means of building where one party holds responsibility for both the design and the construction. The Master-Builder method was the only method before the now ubiquitous design-bid-build project structure. The Romans for example, famous for their roads, aqueducts, and amphitheaters, did not design a project, bid it out to subcontractors, and then select the low bidder to build it, but rather designed and built structures in a collaborative, somewhat simultaneous fashion. In building a house for a client during Colonial times, one party, such as a master carpenter, was responsible for delivering the general layout and exterior details, selecting structural members, and completing construction. In this way, the carpenter acted as the architect, engineer, and builder simultaneously. The concept of design, bid, and build arose out of the natural specialization of the architect, engineer, and builder in the post-1850s world, where modern structural engineering was born and separated from architecture, and architects and builders fully separated as distinct and separate entities.

Compute depreciation expense on the machine for the year ending December 31, 2020, and the year ending December 31, 2021, using the following methods. (Round depreciation per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answers to decimal places, e-g. 45,892.)
2020 2021
(a) Straight-line
(b) Units-of-output
(c) Working hours
(d) Sum-of-the-years'digits
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate) $
Answer:
(a) Straight-line
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per year = $100,800 / 7 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2020 = $14,400
depreciation expense 2021 = $14,400
(b) Units-of-output
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per unit = $100,800 / 630,000 = $0.16
depreciation expense 2020 = $0.16 x 59,400 = $9,504
depreciation expense 2021 = $0.16 x 51,800 = $8,288
(c) Working hours
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense per working hour = $100,800 / 50,400 = $2
depreciation expense 2020 = $2 x 6,480 = $12,960
depreciation expense 2021 = $2 x 5,940 = $11,880
(d) Sum-of-the-years' digits
depreciable value = $107,100 - $6,300 = $100,800
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 7/28 = $25,200
depreciation expense 2021 = $100,800 x 6/28 = $21,600
(e) Double-declining-balance (twice the straight-line rate)
depreciation expense 2020 = $100,800 x 2/7 = $28,800
depreciation expense 2021 = $72,000 x 2/7 = $20,571
On January 1, 2012, Sunland Company purchased for $690000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $40200. Sunland has recorded monthly depreciation of the equipment on the straight-line method. On December 31, 2020, the equipment was sold for $160000. As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of
Answer:
$54,820
Explanation:
The computation of the gain is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method
= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)
= $64,980
Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is
= $64,980 × 9 years
= $584,820
Now the book value is
= $690,000 - $584,820
= $105,180
Now the gain is
= Sale value - book value
= $160,000 - $105,180
= $54,820
