Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1. anticipate differing expectations

2. Use a little more text than usual in your slides.

Explanation:

1. Based on the fact that the presentation is for intercultural audiences, it is important for the speaker to anticipate differing expectations. The audience have different values, languages etc and their opinions and expectations may be quite different.

2. During the adjustment of multimedia slides to intercultural audiences, it's important to use a little more text than usual in your slides. This is vital so that the audience can comprehend the message that's being passed across. Progressing through the slides rapidly isn't ideal and there should be detailed information in the slides.

During 2020, Lincoln Company hires 12 individuals who are certified to be members of a qualifying targeted group. Each employee works in excess of 600 hours and is paid wages of $13,600 during the year. Lincoln Company's work opportunity credit is_____.

Answers

Answer:

The work opportunity credit is $28,800

Explanation:

As we can see that the employees work more than 400 hours so here the company would be eligible for taking the full credit

The credit should be claimed till 40% of the first $6,000 that could allowed maximum credit of $2,400 per employee

Work opportunity credit is

= (6000 × 40%) × 12 individuals

= $28,800

Hence, the work opportunity credit is $28,800

Pransit, a truck driver, was involved in a truck collision with a passenger car driven by Sanjay. He sued Sanjay for negligence and Sanjay defended by claiming that Pransit was negligent in his driving. The jury heard both sides of the case and was instructed by the judge on the rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence. The jury verdict concluded that Pransit suffered $60,000 damages and Sanjay was 75% negligent and Pransit was 25% negligent in contributing to his own harm. Pransit will recover: A. $15,000. B. $45,000 C. $60,000 D. nothing.

Answers

Answer:

Pransit will recover:

B. $45,000

Explanation:

a) The rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence will ensure that Pransit recovers some damages arising from the negligent deriving.  However, the extent of the amount he will recover depends on the percentage of the defendant's fault.  The implication is that Sanjay will be responsible for 75% of the damage while Pransit bears the remaining 25% (100% - 75%).

b) Amount of damages suffered by Pransit = $60,000

Percentage of Sanjay's negligence = 75%

Therefore, the damage liable to be paid by Sanjay to Pransit = $45,000 ($60,000 * 75%).

Horatio Alger has just become product manager for Brand X. Brand X is a consumer product with a retail price of $1.00. Retail margins on the product are 33%, while wholesalers take a 12% margin. Brand X and its direct competitors sell a total of 20 million units annually; Brand X has 24% of this market. Variable manufacturing costs for Brand X are $0.09 per unit. Fixed manufacturing costs are $900,000. The advertising budget for Brand X is $500,000. The Brand X product manager's salary and expenses total $35,000.

Answers

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue =              $1.00  $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing                         $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense            $0.02

Total variable costs per unit   $0.21  $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79  $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                $900,000

Advertising                       500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000    $1,435,000

Net income =                                     $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15)  to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

=  $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%

Clean123 Inc. performs $1,000 of cleaning services for a customer. After 30 days, the customer pays 50% of the involce with a check. How will
this transaction be recorded?
The customer's payment will be recorded as a debit to(blank)
and a credit to Accounts Receivable.

Answers

Answer:

Debit to CashCredit to Accounts Receivable

Explanation:

When a Receivable pays their bill, the cash account will be debited to show that cash has come into the company because cash is an asset account and assets are debited when they increase.

Accounts Receivable is an asset account as well and when the Receivable pays, they are reducing the amount that they owe(as is the case here) so their account needs to be reduced. Assets are credited when they reduce so this will be credited.

Baskin Promotions, Incorporated sells T-shirts decorated for a variety of concert performers. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 77,000 T-shirts: Sales $ 1,345,190 Cost of Goods Sold 786,940 Gross Profit 558,250 Operating Expenses ($100,000 is fixed) 406,460 Operating Income 151,790 Income Taxes (30% of operating income) 45,537 Net Income $ 106,253 Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income. If the concert season is slow due to poor weather, Baskin estimates that sales could fall to as low as 57,000 T-shirts. What unit cost did Baskin use in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year

Answers

Answer:

$10.22

Explanation:

The computation of the unit cost used in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below;

= Cost of goods sold ÷ number of t-shirts

= $786,940 ÷ 77,000 shirts

= $10.22

By dividing the number of t-shirts from the cost of goods sold we can get the cost of goods sold per unit

hence, the answer is $10.22

Nelson Won wants to withdraw $25,000 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 10% compounded annually

Answers

Answer:

Initial Investment= $94,769.7

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual payment (A)= $25,000

Interest rate (i)= 10%

Number of periods (n)= 5 years

To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:

PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}

PV= 25,000*{(1/0.1) - 1/[0.1*(1.1^5)]}

PV= $94,769.7

A museum of natural history opened a gift shop that operates throughout the year. Top-selling product is a bird feeder. Annual demand for the bird feeder is 933 units. Cost per order is $55. Annual holding cost per unit is $19. Assuming that the shop uses the EOQ as the order size, what would be the total holding cost for the bird feeder

Answers

Answer:

$1396.5

Explanation:

EOQ or economic order quantity formula is given as:

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DC_o}{H_c}}[/tex]

Where, D = demand per year

C_0 = ordering cost and H_c = holding cost per unit per year

[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2\times933\times55}{19}}[/tex]

EOQ= 73.5 units

Since, the order size is EOQ then, total holding cost

= holding cost per unit per year × EOQ

=73.5×19

=$1396.5

The coffee shop across the street from your tiny apartment is your haven away from home -- great beverages, healthy snacks, an atmosphere that is convivial but not so lively that you can't focus on homework, and free wifi. It lacks only one thing: some way to print out your homework and other files when you need hard copy. Your college's libraries and computer labs provide printers, but you live three miles from campus, and it's a long walk or an inconvenient bus ride.

Required:
Write a letter to the owner of the coffee shop, encouraging her to set up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Propose that the service run at break-even prices, just enough to pay for paper, ink cartridges, and the cost of the printer itself. The benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop. You might also mention that you had to take the bus to campus to print this letter, so you bought your afternoon late somewhere else.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Dear Mrs Parker,

I'm one of your numerous customers at your coffee shop and I must say it's really an amazing place and you're really doing a great job.

The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you about the few changes that you could make that'll bring further revenue to you and also be of immense benefit to your customers.

Firstly, I believe that you are aware that most of your customers are young people especially college students like myself. Printing out our school works and other printing works are really a challenge to us. There are no printing shops around and we've to take a bus back to the campus anytime we want to print and this is really costly and Tien consuming.

It'll be worth it if you consider setting up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Apart from the fact that the printing service runs at break even price, the benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop.

When the printing shop is opened, the college students among us will find it beneficial as we won't have to go back to the school campus in order to print.

Furthermore, when people come to the printing shop, they'll also realize that there's a coffee shop there as well, and this can bring about an increase in the demand for coffee which ultimately increases the revenue generated from the sale of coffee.

In conclusion, I hope this letter catches your attention which will be beneficial to everyone.

Answer:

Differences in human capital

Differences in Natural Ability

Compensating differentials

Explanation:

Human capital is an example of an intangible asset. It is the economic value attached to labours' skills and expertise.

Qualities of human capital includes

• Education.

• on-the-job training.

• Hard work

• experience

• Mental and emotional well-being.  

• People management.

• Communication skills.

In case 1, the law graduate is more educated than the student. thus, differences in human capital accounts for the pay difference

In case 2, the skills of the players differs and this accounts for pay differences

In case 3, pay differs by riskiness of the job. thus compensating differential is responsible for pay differences

Item 1 Lawrin is a real-estate salesperson whose compensation is commission-only. She earns a 3% commission on the sale price of each house that she sells and receives 1.5% commissions at the end of each month (the broker retains the rest per the employment agreement). During the month of July, Lawrin sold two houses totaling $445,260. What is her gross pay for the month of July

Answers

Answer:

Gross pay= $13,357.8

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Gross commission= 3%

Sales= $445,260

The gross pay is the amount earned before tax and other deductions. We need to use the following formula:

Gross pay= commission rate*sales

Gross pay= 0.03*445,260

Gross pay= $13,357.8

Answers

Answer:

Medium of exchange

unit of account

store of value

Explanation:

Money is anything that is generally accepted as a means of payment for goods and services and for repayment of debt.

Functions of money  

1. Medium of exchange : money can be used to exchange for goods and services. For example, by writing the check, he is exchanging money for a car

2. Unit of account : money can be used to value goods and services, For example, price was used to determine which was more expensive between the super and the duper

3. Store of value : money can retain its value over the long term, this it can be used as a store of value.  

If there were no beginning work in process and no ending work in process under the weighted-average process costing method, the number of equivalent units for direct materials, if direct materials were added at the start of the process, would be __________________ A. More than the units started or transferred in during the period. B. Equal to the units completed during the period. C. Less than the units completed during the period. D. Equal to total of units started and units completed during the period.

Answers

Answer:

Equal to total of units started and units completed during the period

Explanation:

Equivalent units

These are said to be numbers of complete whole units that could be gotten from the material and effort evident or contained in partially completed units.

Equivalent units of production usually of weighted-average method is defined as the number of units taking oit or transferred to the next department or to finished goods during the timeframe in addition with the equivalent units in the departments' ending work in process inventory.

Equivalent Units of Production is simply known to be equal to the Units Transferred Out plus the Ending Units in Process.

Ending work-in-process

Beginning work in process is the addition that is Started in Process, minus units to be accounted for and minus units transferred out which will equal to ending work in process. Therefore, as a result of the fact that  no beginning work-in-process and ending work-in-process is evident, the units started during the period is also the completed units on the same period.

Lannister Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .95. Its cost of equity is 11 percent, and its cost of debt is 7 percent. If the tax rate is 24 percent, what is the company’s WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

WACC= 5.6%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)

After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)

Kd-After-tax cost of debt  

Ke-Cost of equity  

Wd-Weight f debt  

We-Weight of equity  

After tax cost of debt = (1-T)× Before-tax yield on debt

                                = (1-0.24)× 7

                               =5.32

Cost of equity = 11%

WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)

We= 5%, Wd= 95%

WACC= (5.32× 95%) + (11%× 5%)

        = 5.6%

WACC= 5.6%

Answers

Answer:

Primus, Inc.

Diluted earnings per share is:

= $14.51.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                           Primus, Inc.     Sonston, Inc.   Consolidated

Current net income            $520,000        $120,000       $640,000

Outstanding common stock   40,000            40,000            40,000

Outstanding stock warrants                              4,100               4,100

Total outstanding stock                                                           44,100

Diluted earnings per share = Total current net income/Total outstanding stock

= $640,000/44,100

= $14.51

b) Diluted EPS is an important capital ratio for stockholders as it shows the earnings that a stockholder will be entitled to if convertible shares such as employee stock options, warrants, and debts are actually converted into common stock.

A company is considering issuing long-term debt. The debt would have a thirty-year maturity and a ten percent coupon rate. In order to sell the issue, the bonds must be underpriced at a discount of five percent of face value. In addition, the company would have to pay flotation costs of five percent of face value. The firm's tax rate is 21 percent. Given this information, the annualized after-tax cost of debt for the company would be ________.

Answers

Answer:

Find detailed explanations below

Explanation:

First and foremost, the issue price of the bond is the face value minus adjustments for discount and flotation costs

issue price=$1000*(1-5%-5%)

issue price=$900

semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2

semiannual coupon=$1000*10%/2

semiannual coupon=$50

number of semiannual coupons in 30 years=30*2=60

Using a financial calculator, pretax cost of debt is computed thus:

N=60(number of semiannual coupons)

PMT=50(semiannual coupon)

PV=-900(price)

FV=1000(face value)

CPT

I/Y=5.58%(semiannual yield)

annual yield=5.58%*2=11.16%

after-tax cost of debt=annual yield*(1-tax rate)

tax rate=21%

after-tax cost of debt=11.16%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=8.82%

Alternative approach

Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]

semiannual YTM=50+(1000-900)/30/(1000+900)/2

semiannual YTM=(50+3.33)/950

semiannual YTM=5.61%

annual YTM=5.61%*2=11.22%

after-tax cost of debt=11.22%*(1-21%)

after-tax cost of debt=8.86%
