Answer:
d.
Explanation:
From the given information;
the quarter average sale = expected total sales ÷ number of quarter
= 14800 ÷ 4
= 3700
The forecast for the first quarter = average quarter sale × seasonal factor
= 3700 × 0.70
= 2590
Thus, the expected sales is more than 2500 but lesser than 3000

Fort Thomas Living is a small publishing company located in the Northern Kentucky. Recently, Fort Thomas Living has contracted with several different local writers to publish various magazines and short-story books. Once such transaction involves an exchange of $10,200. Another transaction involves an exchange of $9,600? Are both of these exchanges of money subject to the disclosure requirements of the Money Laundering Control Act?
Answer: No
Explanation:
The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 which was passed to curb the effects of large scale money laundering at the federal level, only requires that transactions above $10,000 be disclosed.
There is a transaction here that is only to the tune of $9,600 so this will not be disclosed as it is less than the $10,000 threshold. The other transaction of $10,200 will however, be disclosed.

The correct statement concerning the dividend paid on August 1st is:
E. Both Marti and Leslie are entitled to the dividend.
Explanation:
a) Data:
June 7th, Leslie purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 9th, Marti purchased 100 shares of GT stock
July 20th Dividend is declared (dividend declaration date)
July 11th = date of record for dividend payment
August 1st = date of dividend payment
b) Analysis: Both Leslie and Marti purchased shares of GT stock prior to the date of record. The date of record is when note is taken of the stockholders who are entitled to dividend. It is one of the three important dates concerning dividend. The other dates are the declaration date and the payment date.
Five years ago, when the relevant cost index was 120, a nuclear centrifuge cost $40,000. The centrifuge had a capacity of separating 1500 gallons of ionized solution per hour. Today, it is desired to build a new centrifuge with capacity of 4500 gallons per hour, but the cost index now is 300. Assuming a power sizing exponent to reflect economies of scale, x, of 0.75, use the power sizing model to determine the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor.
Answer:
The approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / Cost of centrifuge with 1500 capacities 5 years ago = (Capacity of centrifuge with 4500 capacities / Capacity of centrifuge with 1500 capacities)^Power sizing exponent
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacity 5 years ago / $40,000 = (4500 / 1500)^0.75
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / $40,000 = 2.27950705695478
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = 2.27950705695478 * $40,000 = $91,180.28
Therefore, we have:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities now = (Cost index now / Cost index 5 years ago) * Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = (300 / 120) * $91,180.28 = $227,950.71
Therefore, the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.

This can be done through establishing face to face training, computer based training, and every other forms of training in order to secure data.
On June 30, Sharper Corporation’s stockholders’ equity section of its balance sheet appears as follows before any stock dividend or split. Sharper declares and immediately distributes a 50% stock dividend. Common stock—$10 par value, 120,000 shares authorized, 50,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 500,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 200,000 Retained earnings 660,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,360,000 Assume that instead of distributing a stock dividend, Sharper did a 3-for-1 stock split. Required: (1) Prepare the updated stockholders' equity section after the split. (2) Compute the number of shares outstanding after the split.
Answer:
(1) See below for the updated stockholders' equity section after the split.
(2) Number of shares outstanding after the split = 150,000
Explanation:
(1) Prepare the updated stockholders' equity section after the split.
A stock split occurs when a company's board of directors decides to raise the number of outstanding shares by issuing additional shares to present shareholders. With stock split, no fund will be generated but common stock par value will fall after the split to make the Common stock total value and Common stock paid-in capital in excess of par value to remain the same. Therefore, the updated stockholders' equity section after the split will be as follows:
Sharper Corporation
Stockholders’ Equity Section of the Balance Sheet
Jun 30
Details Amount ($)
Common stock - $3.3333 par value, 120,000 shares
authorized, 150,000 shares issued and outstanding 500,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 200,000
Retained earnings 660,000
Total stockholders’ equity 1,360,000
(2) Compute the number of shares outstanding after the split.
For a 3-for-1 stock split, we have:
Number of shares outstanding after the split = Number of shares outstanding before the split * 3 = 50,000 * 3 = 150,000
By implication, we have:
Common stock par value after the split = Common stock par value before the split / 3 = $10 / 3 = $3.3333 per share
Income elasticity measures the:____.
A. Responsiveness of quantity demanded for one good to a percentage change in price of another good.
B. Percentage change in quantity demanded given a percentage change in wealth.
C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.
D. Way in which consumers switch from one product to another when price rises.
Answer:
C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.
Explanation:
Income elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity of a good demanded by an individual as his income changes, all other factors being constant.
Mathematically it is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in income.
Income elasticity is used to find out if a good is a necessity or a luxury good.
The demand for goods that are a necessity does not change with a change in income.
However demand for a luxury good increases as income increases and vice versa

James Perkins wants to have a million dollars at retirement, which is 15 years away. He already has $200,000 in an IRA earning 8 percent annually. How much does he need to save each year, beginning at the end of this year, to reach his target
Solution :
Given :
James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.
His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.
Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = [tex]2000000 \times( 1.08)^{15}[/tex]
= $ 634,434.
Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434
= $ 365,566
Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :
[tex]FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}][/tex]
Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566
A = periodical investment
k = interest rate = 8%
n = period = 15 years
∴[tex]365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}[/tex]
A = 13,464
Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.

Explanation:
Denison Specialty Hospital is planning its master budget for the coming year. The budget wil include operating, capital, cash and flexible budgets. The hospital is noted for its three fine programs: oncology (cancer), cardiac (heart), and rhinoplasty (nose jobs).
Section A
The managers at Denison have been busy working. They have reviewed past records and considered changes in competition, the general economy, and overall medical trends. Using past charges and anticipated rates of medical inflation, they have also made a first attempt at setting thier prices.
Based on a thorough review and discussion of these data, they have projected that next year they will have 240 patients. They expect 120 oncology patients, 80 caridace patients, and 40 rhinoplasty patients.
The charge, of list price, for oncology patient will average $50,000. Cardiac patients will be charged on average of $40,000, and rhinoplasty, $25,000 per patient. However, those charges are not the actual amounts ultimately received.
The amount the hospital receives depends on whether patients pay their own hospital bills or have healthcare insurance. Assume that private insurance companies pay the full charge or list price. However, Medicare and Medicaid have announced rates they will pay for the coming year as follow: oncology patients $40,000, cardiac patients $30,000, and rhinoplasty patients $10,000. Self-pay patients are supposed to pay the full charge, but generally 25 percent of self-pay charges become a bad credit. Note that bad credit are treated as an expense in healthcare. They may not be shown as a reduction lowering revenues. The full charge for self-pay patients is shown as revenues, and then the uncollectible amount is shown as an expense. No payment for charity care is ever recieved, and charity care is not shown s a revenue or expense.
The payer mix is as follows:
Private insurance Medicare/Medicaid Self-Pay Charity
Oncology 30% 50% 10% 10%
Cardiac 20% 60% 10% 10%
Rhinoplasty 10% 20% 60% 10%
Gift shop revenue is projected to be $120,000 for the current year and is expected to remain the same. However, this revenue will increase or decline in proportion to charges in patient volume.
Denison Hospital has an endowment of $1,000,000. It is invested as follows:
a-$500,000 in 6 percent U.S. Governement Bonds that pay interest annually
b-$250,000 in AT&T stock, which pays a dividend of 8 percent annually
c-$250,000 in growth stocks that pay no dividend
Section A requirements:
1. Calculate patient revenue on an accural basis for the coming year. Subdivide revenue by program, and with each program subdivide it by type of payer.
2. Calculate endowment revenue on an accural basis for the coming year.
3. Prepare a revenue budget on an accural basis, including all sources of revenue discussed previously. The revenue budget does not have to show all of the detail from requirements 1 and 2, but should show each major source of revenue, such as patient services and endowment.
Section B
The hospital expects to employ worker in the following departments
Radiology Nursing Administration Total
Managers 100,000 200,000 200,000 500,000
Staff 1,900,000 4,200,000 300,000 6,400,000
Total 2,000,000 4,400,000 500,000 6,900,000
Supplies are expected to be purchased throughout the year for the departments, as follows:
Total
Radiology 360,000
Nursing 160,000
Administration 20,000
Total 540,000
Assume that all supply use varies with the number of patients.
Denison Hospital currently pays rent on its building and equipment for $300,000 per year. Rent is expected to be unchanged next year. The rent is paid $75,000 each quarter.
To better serve its patients, Denison would like to buy $500,000 of new oncology equipment at the start of the year. It would be paid for immediately upon purchase. The equipment has a 5-year life and would be expected to be used up evenly over that lifetime. Although the capital budget would normally include justification for why the equipment is needed, it is sufficient for our purpose to know that the capital budget for Denison is $500,000 and the equipment to be purchased has 5-year useful life. It will have no value left at the end of the 5 years. Denison charges the cost of its capital acquisitions on a straight-line depreciation basis. The means that the cost is spread out over the useful life, with an equal being charged as an expense, called depreciation expense, each year.
Section B Requirements:
1. Calculate expected bad debt expenses on an accural basis for the coming year
2. Calculate an expense budget on a accural basis for the coming year. The expense budget does not require detailed information by program or department, but should show each type of expense as salaries and supplies. Be sure to consider the impact of capital acquisitions on the expense budget.
3. Combine the revenue (section A) and expense budget to present an operating budget for the coming year.
Answer:
Section A:-
1) Total Patient Revenue = 7980000.
2) Endowment Revenue:-
Investment = $1000000.
Income = $ 50000.
3) Revenue Budget on Accrual Basis for Next year= $ 8150000.
Section B:
1) Calculation of Expected Bad Debts for Coming Year= $ 380000
2) Expense Budget for Coming Year = $ 8220000.
3) Operating Budget For coming Year:-
Total Budget Revenue = $ 8150000.
Total Budget Expense = $8220000.
Excess Over Revenue = $ 70000.

Mickley Company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $20.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials $ 280 Direct labor $ 150 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
1.
Total hours for job A - 500
= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate
= $150 ÷ $15
= 10
Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours
= $20 × 10
= $200
total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost
= $280 + $150 + $200
= $630
2.
Cost assigned to each unit
= total manufacturing cost ÷ number of units
= $630 ÷ 70
= $9

a. Calculate the debt ratio at December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. Calculate the debt/equity ratio at December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Calculate the times interest earned for the year ended December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation is given below:
a. The debt ratio is
= Total liabilities ÷ total assets
= $148,000 ÷ $270,000
= 0.5 times
b. The debt/equity ratio is
= Debt ÷ equity
= $148,000 ÷ ($270,000 - $148,000)
= $148,000 ÷ $122,000
= 1.21 times
c. The times interest earned ratio is
= earning before interest and taxes ÷ interest expense
= $81,000 ÷ $17,000
= 4.76 times

XYZ Tile Installation Corporation measures its activity in terms of square feet of tile installed. Last month, the budgeted level of activity was 1,180 square feet and the actual level of activity was 1,270 square feet. The company's owner budgets for supply costs, a variable cost, at $3.50 per square foot. The actual supply cost last month was $4,980. What would have been the spending variance for supply costs
Answer:
The appropriate solution is "$535 U". A further explanation is described below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Actual level of activity,
= 1270
Budgeted variable cost,
= $3.50
Actual supply cost,
= $4980
Now,
The spending variance for supply costs will be:
= [tex](Actual \ level \ of \ activity\times Budgeted \ variable \ cost)\times Actual \ supply \ cost[/tex]
= [tex](1270\times 3.50)-4980[/tex]
= [tex]4445-4980[/tex]

A company enters a futures contract to sell 50,000 units of a commodity for 70 cents per unit. The initial margin is $4,000 and the maintenance margin is $3,000. What change in the futures price (per unit) would lead to a margin call?
Answer:
72 cents
Explanation:
There is going to be a margin call when greater than 1000 dollars has been lost from the margin. Then the balance in the account is going to be smaller than that of the maintenance margin. so 1 cent increase in the price would bring about a lossof
0.01 * 50000
= $500
if the increase in the future price is about 2 cents then there would be a margin call.
70+2 = 72cents, this is when there would be a margin call

Required:
What will Purple Hedgehog Forestry's dividend payout ratio be if it follows a residual dividend policy?

Residual Earnings = $200,000,000 - $25,500,000
Residual Earnings = $174,500,000
Dividend Payout Ratio = Residual Earnings / Expected net income
Dividend Payout Ratio = $174,500,000 / $200,000,000
Dividend Payout Ratio = 0.8725
Dividend Payout Ratio = 87.25%
