This ultimately implies that, a company's pricing strategy in one market is likely to impact the pricing strategy of its rival in another market.
Elbert Company classifies its selling and administrative expense budget into variable and fixed components. Variable expenses are expected to be $26,770 in the first quarter, and $5,240 increments are expected in the remaining quarters of 2020. Fixed expenses are expected to be $41,680 in each quarter. Prepare the selling and administrative expense budget by quarters and in total for 2020.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable expense= $26,770 ($5,240 increase each quarter)
Fixed expense= $41,680
First, we will calculate the total cost per quarter:
Q1= 26,770 + 41,680
Q1= $68,450
Q2= (26,770 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q2= $73,690
Q3= (32,010 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q3= $78,930
Q4= (37,250 + 5,240) + 41,680
Q4= $84,170
Now, the total cost:
Total annual cost= $305,240

Velocity, a consulting firm, enters into a contract to help Burger Boy, a fast-food restaurant, design a marketing strategy to compete with Burger King. The contract spans eight months. Burger Boy promises to pay $93,000 at the end of each month. At the end of the contract, Velocity either will give Burger Boy a refund of $31,000 or will be entitled to an additional $31,000 bonus, depending on whether sales at Burger Boy at year-end have increased to a target level. At the inception of the contract, Velocity estimates an 80% chance that it will earn the $31,000 bonus and calculates the contract price based on the expected value of future payments to be received. At the start of the fifth month, circumstances change, and Velocity revises to 60% its estimate of the probability that it will earn the bonus. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $31,000. At the end of the contract, Velocity receives the additional consideration of $29,000.
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entry to record revenue each month for the first four months of the contract.
b. Prepare the journal entry that the Velocity Company would record after four months to recognize the change in estimate associated with the reduced likelihood that the bonus will be received.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record the revenue each month for the second four months of the contract.
d. Prepare the journal entry after eight months to record receipt of the cash bonus.
Answer:
a. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,000
Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $2,325
Service Revenue (Cr.) $95,325
b. Service Revenue (Dr.) $9,300
Bonus receivable (Cr.) $9,300
c. Accounts Receivable (Dr.) $93,775
Bonus Receivable (Dr.) $775
Service Revenue (Cr.) $93,000
d. Cash (Dr.) $29,000
Bonus Receivable (Cr.) $29,000
Explanation:
The contract between Burger Boy and Velocity is for eight months.
Expected value of the contract on 1st month is :
80% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 20% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $762,600
The expected value per month is $762,600 / 8 months = $95,325 per month
Expected value of the contract 5th month with revised probability is :
60% * [ $93,000 * 8 months + $31,000 ] + 40% [ $93,000 * 8 months - $31,000] = $750,200
The expected value per month is $750,200 / 8 months = $93,775 per month.
Michelle is an active participant in the rental condominium property she owns. During the year, the property generates a ($15,000) loss; however, Michelle has sufficient tax basis and at-risk amounts to absorb the loss. If Michelle has $115,000 of salary, $10,000 of long-term capital gains, $3,000 of dividends, and no additional sources of income or deductions, how much loss can Michelle deduct
Answer: $11000
Explanation:
The total income earned by Mitchell will be the addition of the salary, long term capital gain and dividend. This will be:
= $115,000 + $10,000 + $3,000
= $128,000
The exception amount of $25000 can be gotten.
Modified adjusted gross income = $100,000
Phased out amount = ($128000 - $100000) × 50%
= $28000 × 0.5
= $14000
Mitchell's loss = $25000 - $14000 = $11000
As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Sheridan Company determined that it had inventory worth $320800 at December 31, 2020. This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Herschel Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Sheridan but are being sold on consignment by Herschel. The selling price of these goods is $74900. Sheridan purchased $22000 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Sheridan on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report.
Answer:
Sheridan Company
The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:
= $367,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory = $320,800
Goods held on consignment by Herschel = 46,300
December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000) 0
Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100
b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's). Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor. Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination. This is why it is not included above.

The company’s variable overhead is $5.00 per unit produced and its fixed overhead is $5,600 per month..
Required:
a. Determine Galactic's direct labor budget for the first quarter.
b. Determine Galactic's manufacturing overhead budget for the first quarter
Answer:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 315 + 318 + 362= 995 units
Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours.
Hourly rate= $16
Variable overhead per unit= $5
Fixed overhead= $5,600
First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours:
Direct labor hours= 995*3= 2,985
Now, the direct labor costs:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
Finally, the total manufacturing overhead:
total manufacturing overhead= 5,600 + 5*995
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
Snug Harbor Realty Co., had a checking account in 1st National Bank. When construction work was obtained by Snug Harbor, its superintendent, Magee, would examine the bills submitted for labor and materials. He would instruct the bookkeeper which bills were approved, and the bookkeeper then prepared the checks in accordance with his instructions. After the checks were signed by the proper official of Snug Harbor, Magee picked them up for delivery. Instead of delivering certain checks, he forged the signatures of the respective payees as endorsers and cashed the checks. The drawee bank then debited the Snug Harbor account with the amount of the checks. Snug Harbor claimed this was improper and sued the bank for the amount of the checks. The bank claimed it was protected by the impostor rule.
Required:
Will the bank be successful?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
The higher court's ruling was reversed, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
The higher court argued that the trial court erred by failing to understand that the checks were for actual payees for the plaintiff, not names given by the employee, and that the trial court erred in its decision.
The bank will be covered under UCC 3-405 if an employee forged a payee and forged the endorsement on a company check and embezzled the check. The checks were meant for the company's actual payees, so this was not the case.

if this paper takes 2 hours and there are 100 questions in all, what is the average time you should spend on each question?
Media outlets often have websites that provide in-depth coverage of news and events. Portions of these websites are restricted to members who pay a monthly subscription to gain access to exclusive news and commentary. These websites typically offer a free trial period to introduce viewers to the website. Assume that during a recent fiscal year, one outlet spent $2,368,800 on a promotional campaign for its website that offered two free months of service for new subscribers. In addition, assume the following information:
Number of months an average new customer stays with the service (including the two free months) 22 months
Revenue per month per customer subscription $21
Variable cost per month per customer subscription $7
Determine the number of new customer accounts needed to break even on the cost of the promotional campaign. In forming your answer:
a. treat the cost of the promotional campaign as a fixed cost
b. treat the revenue less variable cost per account for the subscription period as the unit contribution margin.
Answer: 8,905 customers
Explanation:
Breakeven = Fixed cost / Contribution Margin
Fixed cost = $2,368,800
Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost
Revenue will be for 20 months because there were 2 free months:
= 21 * 20
= $420 per customer
Variable cost = 7 * 22
= $154
Contribution margin = 420 - 154
= $266
Breakeven = 2,368,800 / 266
= 8,905 customers
Why were metal Coins suitable by then
Answer:
The coinage metals comprise, at a minimum, those metallic chemical elements which have historically been used as components in alloys used to mint coins. The term is not perfectly defined, however, since a number of metals have been used to make "demonstration coins" which have never been used to make monetized coins for any nation-state, but could be. Some of these elements would make excellent coins in theory (for example, zirconium), but their status as coin metals is not clear. In general, because of problems caused when coin metals are intrinsically valuable as commodities, there has been a trend in the 21st century toward use of coinage metals of only the least exotic and expensive types.

Hillary graduates from law school and gets a position in a law firm. At the same time the price of hamburger falls while other food prices have stayed the same. She notices that she buys less hamburger than she did before. Is she violating the law of demand?
Answer:
no, since other things are not held constant, including her income
Explanation:
The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.
However this is true when all other factors reman constant.
In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.
All factors do not remain constant.
Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.
Cost of Living The City of St. Albans has a unionized police force that is coming up for a contract renewal. The police have one issue: the cost of living increases. During the past 10 years, police officers have received minimal cost of living increases, and this time they want to match what other police forces are making. They claim that their salaries are below the national level. The incoming new police hire earns a salary of $48,200.
Required:
Prepare the data and an argument on behalf of the police officers to support their position.
Answer:
Police officers are national servants. Their salary needs to be adequate so that they can maintain their standard of living.
Explanation:
Police officers should be paid according to their level of skills and expertise. If they are paid below their minimal cost of living then they will feel demotivated and will not be able to justify their job role. They need to be self motivated with their adequate pay so they feel pride to serve the nation. The police officers should be paid equally to the new police hire salary which is $48,200.

If firms leave the industry, there would be a reduction in supply and price would increase
29. Randolph is a 30 percent partner in the RD Partnership. On January 1, RD distributes $22,500 cash and inventory with a fair value of $56,000 (inside basis of $28,000) to Randolph in complete liquidation of his interest. RD has no liabilities at the date of the distribution. Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625. What is the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution
Answer: $3125 capital loss
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, we should note that RD Partnership distributes $22500 cash and inventory with inside basis of $28000.
Since Randolph's basis in his RD Partnership interest is $53,625, the amount and character of Randolph's gain or loss on the distribution will be:
= ($22500 + $28000) - $53625
= $50500 - $53625
= -$3125
Therefore, there's a capital loss of $3125
Barbara, a product manager at an organic soap manufacturing company, is supposed to interview a candidate for a new job opening in her department. The candidate arrives late to the interview, and therefore Barbara assumes that he will be tardy and uninterested in his job as well. Despite the fact that the candidate meets all the job requirements, Barbara rejects the candidate. Which of the following interview errors has Barbara most likely made?
A. The first-impression error.
B. The similarity error.
C. The contrast error.
D. The non-relevancy error.
Answer:
A. The first-impression error.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that Barbara probably made the first-impression error in the interview, because this error occurs when there are initial judgments about a candidate in the interview, it was what happened when Barbara thought that the candidate would be disinterested at work due to his late to the interview even the candidate meeting all the requirements of the position.
This error can be based on positive and negative judgments and can directly influence a job hiring.
9. Stabilization Suppose the US educational system improves, making workers more productive. If the federal reserve is trying to stabilize the price level in response, they should A. do nothing, because prices will not change anyhow. B. do nothing, because prices cannot be prevented from changing in the long run C. sell bonds in open market operations. D. lower the reserve requirement. E. increase the discount rate F. Raise taxes. G. Increase government spending.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
If workers become more productive, the supply curve shifts rightward. As a result prices would fall. In a bid to stabilise price, the federal reserve would conduct an expansionary monetary policy to increase money supply in the economy
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing reserve requirement and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Increasing discount rate and selling bonds are examples of contractionary monetary policies. Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply.
Raising tax is an example of contractionary fiscal policy
Increasing government spending is an example of expansionary fiscal policy

The product life-cycle theory: Select one: a. was a strong predictor of trade patterns during the 1800s. b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance. c. proved to be a poor explanation of world trade patterns during the 1960s and 1970s. d. remains a relevant theory of explaining international trade in the modern world.
Answer:
b. was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.
Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;
1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
The theory of product life cycle asserts that all the raw materials or parts and the labour used for the manufacturing of the product must come from the specific location or area wherein it was produced for optimum profit.
Hence, the product life-cycle theory was useful for explaining the pattern of trade during the brief period of American global dominance.

Federal excise duty is the government rate which is set to control the money supply in an economy. When Fed rises the interest rate decline while money supply increases.
The crisis during 2008 led the world towards declining their economic growth. The shaky stock market runs fear in the investors and they withdrew their money from the stock and other risky and invested their earning and savings in safe and secure treasury bonds. This led the government to raise the prices of treasury bonds and the returns of the bonds declined.
