Answer:
It is more convenient to rework the units and sell them for the full price.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company has 19,000 defective units.
The units can be:
a) sold as-is for $3.40 each
b) reworked for $4.80 each and then sold for the full price of $8.80 each.
We won't take into account the firsts $5.4 costs because they are irrelevant for the decision-making process.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= 19,000*3.4= $64,600
Rework:
Effect on income= 19,000*(8.8 - 4.8)
Effect on income= $76,000
It is more convenient to rework the units and sell them for the full price.

1. First Industrial Revolution The internet
2. Second Industrial Revolution The flying shuttle
3. Neither The steam engine
4. Both Railroads Telegraph A technological (as opposed to political) revolution
Answer:
The possibility of traveling from coast to coast in the US in under a week ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONFeedback loops ⇒ BOTHThe internet ⇒ NEITHERThe flying shuttle ⇒ NEITHERThe steam engine ⇒ FIRST INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONRailroads ⇒ BOTHTelegraph ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION A technological (as opposed to political) revolution ⇒ SECOND INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTIONExplanation:
The first industrial revolution took place between 1760-1830 (roughly) and its main characteristics were the industrialization of production processes using stream power.
The second industrial revolution took place between 1870-1914 (beginning of WWI). Production processes were enhanced as well as the production of steel. Even though some systems were invented much earlier, during the second industrial revolution they became "popular" and were adopted in many places and became common things, e.g. railroad networks, telegraph and telephone, water systems, sewage, electricity, and even pencils.
Timberly Construction negotiates a lump-sum purchase of several assets from a company that is going out of business. The purchase is completed on January 1, 2015, at a total cash price of $820,000 for a building, land, land improvements, and four vehicles. The estimated market values of the assets are building, $492,900; land, $260,400; land improvements, $55,800; and four vehicles, $120,900. The company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

The last four years of returns for a stock are as follows: Year 1 2 3 4 Return −4.5% 28.1% 12.2% 3.7% a. What is the average annual return? b. What is the variance of the stock's returns? c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
Answer:
a. What is the average annual return?
average annual return (mean) = (-4.5% + 28.1% + 12.2% + 3.7%) / 4 = 9.875%
b. What is the variance of the stock's returns?
variance = [(-4.5% - 9.875%)² + (28.1% - 9.875%)² + (12.2% - 9.875%)²) + (3.7% - 9.875%)²] / 4 = (206.64 + 332.15 + 5.41 + 38.13) / 4 = 582.33 / 4 = 145.5825
c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns?
standard deviation = √145.5825 = 12.06%
Which of the following is a condition that triggers the penalty for negligence or intentional disregard? 1) the taxpayer understates their tax by the larger of $5,000 or 10% of the correct tax. 2) the taxpayer shows negligence or disregard of the rules or regulations, causing an underpayment. 3)The taxpayer fails to pay the tax owed by the due date. 4) the taxpayer fails to file the return by the due date, and there is balance due.
Answer:
2) the taxpayer shows negligence or disregard of the rules or regulations, causing an underpayment.
Explanation:
When any taxpayer shows some negligence or if they disregard the rules and the regulations, causing an underpayment, then it leads to a penalty for the disregard or the negligence.
Also, when a taxpayer intentionally understates his or her tax by a larger of $5000 or a 10% of his / her correct tax, then it is an accuracy related penalty.
And, also the information related penalties which are levied for failure of taxpayer to pay the amount of tax owed by due date and also failure to filing the return by the due date.
Thus option (2) is correct.
a customer has invested 20000 in a variable annuity. in the first year nav increases to 21100 at what rate wsill 1100 gain be taxed
Answer: 0%
Explanation:
The $20,000 contribution to the variable annuity is not taxed and neither is the gain, at least not yet.
With the variable annuity, the gains/earnings will be tax-deferred and the customer will only have to pay taxes when they withdraw the contributions.
When this happens they will be charged at the normal income tax rate.
In a planned economy, prices of commodities are controlled by _________.
The correct answer is C. The government
Explanation:
The key feature of a planned economy is the strong influence and control of government in the economy. Indeed, in a planned economy it is the government the entity that decides on trade and production, this includes the prices of goods and the types of products that should be manufactured. Moreover, this does not occur in market economies because in these customers, produces and the law of supply/demand determine factors of the economy. According to this, in a planned economy prices are controlled by government.
The manufacturing costs of Ackerman Industries for the first three months of the year follow:
Total Costs Units Produced
January $1,900,000 20,000 units
February 2,250,000 27,000
March 2,400,000 30,000
Using the high-low method, determine (a) the variable cost per unit and (b) the total fixed cost. Round all answers to the nearest whole dollar.
a. Variable cost per unit $
b. Total fixed cost $
Answer:
a. $50
b. $500,000
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per unit by using high low method is shown below:
a. Variable cost per unit = (High total cost - low total cost) ÷ (High number of units produced - low number of units produced)
= ($2,400,000 - $1,900,000) ÷ (30,000 units - 20,000 units )
= $500,000 ÷ 10,000 units
= $50
b. Now the fixed cost equal to
= High total cost - (High number of units produced × Variable cost per unit)
= $2,400,000 - (30,000 units × $50)
= $2,400,000 - $1,500,000
= $900,000
The debt-to-equity ratio for your small business was 1.40 at the end of last year and 1.25 at the end of this year. Your debt-to-equity ratio is:_________
Answer:
The debt to equity ratio is 1.25
Explanation:
The computation of the debt to equity ratio is shown below:
Debt to equity ratio = Debt ÷ equity
Given that
Last year debt to equity ratio = 1.40
And, this year the debt to equity ratio = 1.25
Based on the above information, the debt to equity ratio is 1.25
As we can assume that the question ask for the current year so the debt to equity ratio is 1.25
It also shows the relationship between the debt and equity
As a preferred stockholder, you are entitled to numerous preferences and privileges over common stockholders. If you are a preferred stockholder of a company that has fallen on economic hardship and is likely to go bankrupt, which preference or privilege of preferred stock is going to be most useful to you
Answer:
asset distribution preference
Explanation:
In such a situation the preference or privilege that would be best for you is known as asset distribution preference or liquidation preference. This is a clause that dictates that the payout in case of a corporate liquidation (such as when they are about to go bankrupt) must first go to the preferred stockholders in order for them to get their money back first. Therefore, since you are a preferred stockholder this would be the biggest privilege for you, allowing you to recover your money quickly and move on to something else.

If inputs increase by 15% and outputs increase by 15%, what is the percentage change in productivity?
Answer:
0%
Explanation:
If input increase by 15% and output increase by 15% then the equation for productivity will be
Input = 100% + 15% = 115%
Output = 100% + 15% = 115%
[tex]productivety =\frac{Outpu t }{Inpu t}[/tex]
[tex]productivety=\frac{1.15}{1.15}[/tex]
[tex]productivty = 1[/tex]
Percentage change = 1-1
Percentage change = 0%
If both Output and input is increased by the same amount the results will be the same
tahir owns and operates a gym. In 2020, he purchased and placed the following new assets into service for his business: March 17, a $1,700 sound system; July 4, a $500 desk; September 2, a $2,000 computer. He did not opt out of bonus depreciation. What is the total 2020 depreciation for the desk

Since the Cost of the desk is $500
Also Tahir did not pt out for the bonus depreciation so in this case the 100% cost to be claimed as the bonus depreciation for the year 2020 with respect to the qualifying assets that are purchased in the year 2020
Hence, the total depreciation for the desk in the year is $500 and the same is to be considered
The common stock of Flavorful Teas has an expected return of 14.31 percent. The return on the market is 9 percent and the risk-free rate of return is 3.1 percent. What is the beta of this stock
Answer:
1.9
Explanation:
The common stock of flavorful tea has an expected return of 14.31%
=14.31/100
= 0.1431
The return on the market is 9%
= 9/100
= 0.09
The risk free rate of return is 3.1%
= 3.1/100
= 0.031
Therefore, the beta can be calculated as follows
0.1413= 0.031 + beta(0.09-0.031)
0.1413= 0.031 + 0.09beta-0.031beta
0.1413=0.031 +0.059beta
0.1413-0.031= 0.059beta
0.1121= 0.059beta
beta= 0.1121/0.059
beta= 1.9
Hence the beta of this stock is 1.9
Mia has an outside basis of $50,000 in the Brimstone Partnership, including her share of liabilities of $25,000. In a liquidating distribution, she receives cash of $10,000 and inventory worth $8,000 (inside basis to Brimstone of $20,000). What is Mia's recognized gain or loss on the liquidation and basis in the property received
Answer:
No gain or loss, Cash basis $10,000, Inventory $15,000
Explanation:
Calculation for Mia’s recognized gain or loss
First step is to calculate for Mia outside adjusted basis
Using this formula
Outside adjusted basis=Outside basis - Liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Outside adjusted basis=$50,000 - $25,000
Outside adjusted basis= $25,000
Second step is to calculate for Mia Gain or loss
Using this formula
Gain/Loss=Outside adjusted basis- Cash received - Inside basis
Let plug in the formula
Gain/Loss =$25,000 -$10,000 -$20,000
Gain/Loss = ($5,000)
Since Mia had ($5,000) this means Mia has no gain or loss
Last step is to calculate for Mia Inventory
Using this formula
Inventory = Cash + Gain/Loss
Let plug in the formula
Inventory =$10,000 + $5,000
Inventory = $15,000
Therefore Mai has NO gain or loss, Cash basis amount of $10,000 and Inventory amount of $15,000
As a comparable, an expired listing can be a useful indicator of a listing period that was too short. a listing price that was too high for the market. a seller who was flexible. a property that was not as good as its competitors.
Answer: a listing price that was too high for the market.
Explanation:
An expired listing occurs when the house for sale was not sold in the time period that was allowed by the contract between the house owner and the sales agent.
If this was to happen then it could be because prospective buyers deemed the house to be worth less than it was being offered for and so did not buy it. Both the seller and the agent can learn from this as it very much could be an indicator that the listing price was too high for the market.
Cox Corporation was organized on January 1, 2003, at which date it issued 100,000 shares of $10 par common stock at $15 per share. During the period January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2005, Cox reported net income of $450,000 and paid cash dividends of $230,000. On January 10, 2005, Cox purchased 8,000 shares of its common stock at $4 per share. On December 31, 2005, Cox sold 6,000 treasury shares at $12 per share. What is Cox's total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2005?
Answer: $1,760,000
Explanation:
Total Shareholder Equity = Common share + Net Income - Dividends - Treasury stock
Common share
= 100,000 * 15
= $1,500,000
Net Treasury Stock
= Treasury stock bought - Treasury stock sold
= (8,000 * 4) - (6,000 * 12)
= 32,000 - 72,000
= -40,000
Total Shareholder Equity = Common share + Net Income - Dividends - Treasury stock
= 1,500,000 + 450,000 - 230,000 - (40,000)
= 1,500,000 + 220,000 + 40,000
= $1,760,000

A bond issue with a face amount of $400,000 bears interest at the rate of 8%. The current market rate of interest is 9%. These bonds will sell at a price that is:
The question is incomplete. The complete question is,
A bond issue with a face amount of $400,000 bears interest at the rate of 8%. The current market rate of interest is 9%. These bonds will sell at a price that is:
More than $400,000.
Equal to $400,000.
Less than $400,000.
The answer cannot be determined from the information provided.
Answer:
The bond sells at a price less than $400000
Explanation:
The coupon rate of bonds is the interest rate at which the bond will pay the interest. When the coupon rate of a bond is less than the market interest rate or the Yield to Maturity (YTM), the bond sells at a discount in the market. On the other hand, if the coupon rate of bond is greater than the market interest rate, the bond sells at a premium.
As the coupon rate of the given bond is 8% which is less than the market interest rate of 9%, the bond sells at a discount. Thus, the price at which the bond sells is less than $400000.
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 600 light fixtures (units) at $8 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 3,000 units at $9.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $9.00 per unit, which includes $6.00 variable cost and $3.00 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $550 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $850 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:
Answer:
700 units
Explanation:
Calculation for the what the size of the order will be.
Using this formula
Unit to sell= Total additional fixed costs + desired profit / Contribution margin per unit=
Let plug in the formula
Units to sell=$550 + $850 / (8-6)
Units to sell= $1,400/2
Units to sell=700 units
Therefore the size of the order will be 700 units
The role of the government in establishing how private business can operate includes all of the following except:a)providing legal frameworkb)PROVIDING RAW MATERIAL TO BUSINESSc)protecting the environmentd)protecting consumers

A correlation coefficient of zero indicates Question 38 options: a) there is no correlation and no risk reduction when the projects are combined. b) the projects have the same expected value. c) there is no correlation, but there is some risk reduction when the projects are combined. d) the projects have the same standard deviation.
Answer: c) there is no correlation, but there is some risk reduction when the projects are combined.
Explanation:
The correlation coefficient measures the relationship between the movement of two assets. If they are positively correlated, the assets will move in the same direction. If they are negatively correlated, the assets will move in opposite directions.
When the correlation is zero though then there will be no correlation. That does not mean that there will be no risk attached however because investing in both can still lead to a loss if both assets are affected by the same event.
The only riskless investment would be those that are perfectly negatively correlated because then you would be sure that when one makes a loss in one, a gain will definitely be made in the other.
A commercial bank will loan you $20,000 for four years to buy a car. The loan must be repaid in 48 equal monthly payments. The annual interest rate on the loan is 6.00 percent of the unpaid balance. How large are the monthly payments?
Answer:
Monthly payment = $469.701
Explanation:
Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.
The monthly equal installment is calculated as follows:
Monthly equal installment= Loan amount/Monthly annuity factor
Loan amount = 20,000
Monthly annuity factor =
=( 1-(1+r)^(-n))/r
r- Monthly interest rate (r)
= 6/12= 0.5%
n- Number of months ( n) = 20 × 4 = 48
Annuity factor
= ( 1- (1.005)^(-48)/0.005= 42.5803
Monthly installment= 20,000 /42.5803 = $469.701
Monthly installment = $469.701
Monthly payment = $469.701

Answer:
Select the best description of the incentive for each of the following participants based on the current U.S. health-care system:
Consumers will ______________
c. request as much treatment as possible to maximize healthcare benefits
Producers will _______________
b. prescribe as much treatment as possible to increase profit
Intermediaries will ______________
b. allow as few treatments as possible to maximize profit.
Explanation:
The current US healthcare system is acclaimed worldwide as very expensive. It is controlled by capitalistic tendencies where healthcare providers are more interested in maximising their profits rather than maximizing healthcare benefits. Since the US government does not provide health benefits to citizens or visitors, the costs for rendering healthcare are not being monitored and controlled. Unfortunately, to see your primary care provider (PCP), it may take several days before you are attended to after booking an appointment with the organization. The only rescue available these days is the technological innovation provided by telemedicine.

McQuilkin and Copan adopt different positions toward capitalism and socialism. Which author is more favorable to free market capitalism
Answer:
Paul Copan
Explanation:
Dr. Robertson McQuilkin can be considered a very biblical man, and as such, would always favor socialism more than free market capitalism. His phrase "Capitalism is for freedom, socialism is for equality" and the fact that he believed in a strict following of the Bible, you make him a more socialist person.
Dr. Paul Copan is also a very religious man, but his views are less extreme than Dr. McQuilkin's. He is more pragmatic and argues in favor of religion from a more neutral or agnostic point of view. He even argues that religious beliefs and economics are not mutually exclusive.
Wyly Inc. produces and sells a single product. The selling price of the product is $215.00 per unit and its variable cost is $66.65 per unit. The fixed expense is $405,099 per month. The break-even in monthly dollar sales is closest to:______.
a. $1,306,771.
b. $901,672.
c. $587,100.
d. $405,099.
Answer:
c. $587,100.
Explanation:
The computation of the break even sales in dollars is shown below:
Break Even Sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
where,
Fixed cost is $405,099
And, the contribution margin ratio is
= (sales price - variable cost) ÷ sales price
= ($215 - $66.65) ÷ $215
= 69%
Now placing these above formulae to the given formula
= $405,099 ÷ 0.69
= $587,100
Hene, the correct option is c. $587,100
