Answer:
Explanation:
Issue - Does guarantee on phone for a debt payment is valid and enforceable in a court of law.
Decision - The guarantee is a contract and needs to be in writing and should bear the signatures of the parties in order to be enforceable. In this case, the guarantee for the debt repayment by Bob was given by Joe on phone, which does not fulfil the requirement of the contract to be enforceable.Hence the bank would not succeed in claiming payments from Joe.
Support - Guarantee for repayment of debt is a contract that authorises the creditor to recover the money from the guarantor if the debtor defaults on payment. However, the guarantee contract should be in writing ( in legal systems of most of the countries) and should be signed by the guarantor. In absence of a written contract and signature of the guarantor, the contract can't be enforced in a court of law, which is in this case. The bank should have insisted only on the written and signed consent of guarantee from Joe. As it did not, it can't hold him liable for the breach of guarantee contract.

A Company is evaluating rental prices. Historical data show that Friday and Saturday have twice the rentals of other days of the week. The following information pertains to the store's normal operations per week: Average rentals per day on Friday and Saturday 1,350 Average rentals per day on Sunday through Thursday 600 Store hours per day 10 Total units available for rent 10,000 Variable operating costs per hour $43 Marketing costs per week $1,800 Customer service costs per week $250 The store manager wants to charge more for rentals on Friday and Saturday. What is the minimum price that should be charged during peak rental days? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
$1.01
Explanation:
For computing the minimum price first we need to find the following things which are shown below:
1. Variable operating cost per week.
= Variable operating costs per hour × Store hours per day × number of days
= $43 × 12 hours per day × 7 days
= $3,612
2. Now total cost per week is
Total cost per week = Variable operating costs per week + Marketing costs per week + Customer service costs per week
= $3,612 + $1,900 + $250
= $5,762
3. After calculating, the minimum price is
= Total costs per week ÷ Rental per week
where,
Total cost per week is $5,762
And, the rental per week is
= ($1,350 × 2 days) + ($600 × 5 days)
= $2,700 + $3,000
= $5,700
So, the minimum price is
= $5,762 ÷ $5,700
= $1.01
If you can download 10 ring tones for your cell phone
for $15 or you could download 11 ring tones for
your cell phone for $16, then the marginal cost of the
eleventh ring tone is
Answer:
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = $1
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of 10 ringtone = $15
Cost of 11 ringtone = $16
Find:
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = ?
Computation:
Marginal cost = change in cost / change in quantity
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = change in total cost / change in number of ringtone
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = ($16 - $15) / (11 - 10)
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = $1 / 1
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = $1
At the end of 2020, Payne Industries had a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $95 million attributable to a temporary book-tax difference of $380 million in a liability for estimated expenses.

Nick’s Novelties, Inc., is considering the purchase of new electronic games to place in its amusement houses. The games would cost a total of $300,000, have an eight-year useful life, and have a total salvage value of $20,000. The company estimates that annual revenues and expenses associated with the games would be as follows: Revenues $ 200,000 Less operating expenses: Commissions to amusement houses $ 100,000 Insurance 7,000 Depreciation 35,000 Maintenance 18,000 160,000 Net operating income $ 40,000 Garrison 16e Rechecks 2017-05-22 Exercise 12-8 Part 2 2a. Compute the simple rate of return promised by the games. 2b. If the company requires a simple rate of return of at least 12%, will the games be purchased?
Answer:
13.33%
Yes , the recent games should be purchased.
Explanation:
Relevant data provided to figure out the simply rate of return is here below:-
Net income = $40,000
Initial investment = $300,000
As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return is provided below:-
Simple rate of return = Net income ÷ Initial investment × 100
= $40,000 ÷ $300,000 × 100
= 0.13333 × 100
= 13.33%
The recent games should be purchased for the reason that simple rate of return exceed least rate of return = Simple rate of return - Least simple rate of return
= 13.33% - 12%
= 1.33%
Coronado Family Instruments makes cellos. During the past year, the company made 6,370 cellos even though the budget planned for only 5,500. The company paid its workers an average of $15 per hour, which was $1 higher than the standard labor rate. The production manager budgets four direct labor hours per cello. During the year, a total of 25,000 direct labor hours were worked.
Calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variances. (If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 6,370 cellos
The Budget production= 5,500.
The company paid its workers an average of $15 per hour, which was $1 higher than the standard labor rate.
The production manager budgets four direct labor hours per cello. During the year, a total of 25,000 direct labor hours were worked.
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (4*6,370 - 25,000)*14
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $6,720 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (14 - 15)*25,000
Direct labor rate variance= $25,000 unfavorable

The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $18, direct labor $22, variable manufacturing overhead $13, fixed manufacturing overhead $27, variable selling and administrative expenses $7, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $17. The company's ROI per unit is $16. Compute Sunland Corporation’s markup percentage using absorption-cost pricing. Absorption-cost pricing markup percentage % Compute Sunland Corporation’s markup percentage using variable-cost pricing. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50%.) Variable-cost pricing markup percentage %
Answer:
Mark-up;
Absorption costing=20%
Variable costing pricing = 26.7%
Explanation:
Absorption costing values production units using full cost per unit.
Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + Direct Labour cost + Variable production overhead+ Fixed production overhead
Absorption costing =18 + 22+ 27+13= 80
Mark-up = ROi/cost per unit× 100
= 16/80 ×100= 20%
Variable costing pricing
Here products are valued using the variable cost of production.
18 + 22+ 13+ 7= 60
Mark-up = 16/60× 100= 27%
Mark-up;
Absorption costing= 20%
Variable costing pricing =26.7%

Coronado manufactures competition stunt kites. In November, Jerry Box prepared the following production budget for the first quarter of the coming year. Desired ending inventory is based on the following month's budgeted sales. January February March Quarter Budgeted unit Sales 24,100 39,300 32,200 95,600 Budgeted ending inventory 7,860 6,440 2,870 2,870 Total units required 31,960 45,740 35,070 98,470 Beginning inventory 4,820 7,860 6,440 4,820 Budgeted production 27,140 37,880 28,630 93,650 Following higher-than-expected sales in December, Jerry conducted an inventory count on January 2 and discovered that the company had only 2,260 completed kites on hand. He decided that given the brisk sales in December, the company should increase its desired ending inventory level from 20 to 25 percent of the next month's sales volume. Prepare a new production budget for the first quarter. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) January February March Quarter
Answer:
New Production Budget:
January February March Quarter
Budgeted unit Sales 24,100 39,300 32,200 95,600 Budgeted ending inventory 9,825 8,050 3,588 3,588 Total units required 33,925 47,350 35,788 99,188 Beginning inventory 6,025 9,825 8,050 6,025 Budgeted production 27,900 37,525 27,738 93,163
Explanation:
a) Prepared Production Budget:
January February March Quarter
Budgeted unit Sales 24,100 39,300 32,200 95,600 Budgeted ending inventory 7,860 6,440 2,870 2,870 Total units required 31,960 45,740 35,070 98,470 Beginning inventory 4,820 7,860 6,440 4,820 Budgeted production 27,140 37,880 28,630 93,650
b) Budgeted Ending Inventory changed from 20% to 25% of the next month's sales. The April sales was estimated using the ending inventory of March for the prepared budget. This is calculated as follows:
Sales for April = 2,870/20% = 14,350 units
Therefore, the March ending inventory for the new production budget is equal to 25% of 14,350 = 3,588 units.
c) Production budget is an estimate of the units to be produced based on the sales forecast, desired ending inventory (safety stock to cover for unexpected increases in sales) and the period's beginning inventory level.
Edgerron Company is able to produce two products, G and B, with the same machine in its factory. The following information is available.
Product G Product B
Selling price per unit $150 $180
Variable costs per unit 60 108
Contribution margin per unit $90 $72
Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours
Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units
The company presently operates the machine for a single eight-hour shift for 22 working days each month. Management is thinking about operating the machine for two shifts, which will increase its productivity by another eight hours per day for 22 days per month. This change would require $9,000 additional fixed costs per month. (Round hours per unit answers to 1 decimal place. Enter operating losses, if any, as negative values.)
Required:
1. Determine the contribution margin per machine hour that each product generates.
2. How many units of product G and product B should the company produce if it continues to operate with only one shift? How much total contribution margin does this mix produce each month?
Answer:
Product G Product B
Selling price per unit $150 $180
Variable costs per unit $60 $108
Contribution margin per unit $90 $72
Machine hours to produce 1 unit 0.4 hours 1.0 hours
Maximum unit sales per month 550 units 200 units
1)
Contribution margin per = $90 / 0.4 = $72 / 1
machine hour = $225 = $72
2)
total operating hours per 176 hours
month
units produced 440 units 0 units
contribution margin $39,600 $0
Since Product G generates a much higher contribution margin per machine hour, all the available machine hours (176) should be used to produce it. That would result in 440 units produced and $39,600 generated as contribution margin.
The city of Trenton, New Jersey, passed an ordinance making it unlawful to use any form of sound amplification on the city streets. A city prosecutor, Charles Kovac, mounted an amplifier on a truck through which he played music and spoke on the microphone while driving on city streets. Kovac was tried and convicted in the Trenton Police Court and fined fifty dollars. Kovac appealed, arguing that the ordinance violated his rights of free speech and free assembly, The city claimed that the ordinance served a legitimate governmental function in keeping the city streets safe and orderly and did not prohibit free speech or assembly. How would a court likely rule in regards to the ordinance?
a. The court probably found that the ordinance was unconstitutional as an unreasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
b. The court probably found that the ordinance was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause.
c The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional under the establishment cause.
d. The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
Answer: d. The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.
Explanation: Human rights maybe defined as the basic right that all human should be guaranteed by virtue of them being human, while an ordinance is given as a local law. The ruling of the court in regards to the ordinance would be that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights. This is because the ordinance was already in place to keep the city streets safe and orderly to which Charles Kovac flouted and as such was convicted.
Answer:
the answer would be D
Explanation:
The court probably found that the ordinance was constitutional as a reasonable restriction on fundamental rights.

Debit Cash for $2750800, debit Interest Expense for $239200, and credit Notes Payable for $2990000.
Answer:
Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685
The journal entry to record this transaction would be:
Debit Credit
Cash $2,900,300
Interest Expense $89,700
Notes Payable $2,990,000
Debit Cash for $2900300, debit Interest Expense for $89700, and credit Notes Payable for $2990000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount Scarbrough will receive and record cash we would have to make the following calculation:
Scarbrough will receive and record cash=Receivables-Amount of the hold back-Withheld as fee income-Less: Withheld as interest expense
Receivables= $600,000
Amount of the hold back=$600,000 x 5%=$30,000
Withheld as fee income=$600,000 x 3%=$18,000
Withheld as interest expense=$600,000 × 15% × 54/365=$13,315
Therefore, Scarbrough will receive and record cash=$600,000- $30,000-$18,000-$13,315=$538,685
Scarbrough will receive and record cash of $538,685
According to the given data to journal entry to record this transaction would be the following:
Debit Credit
Cash $2,900,300
Interest Expense $89,700
Notes Payable $2,990,000
Interest Expense=$2,990,000 x 3%=$89,700

Under this cartel arrangement, they will maximize joint profits if each of the firms produces 257.14 units and sells at $1,542.88 per unit.
Explanation:
p = 3,600 - 4q ..................................................... (1)
C(q_i) = q_i^2 ………………………………… (2)
MC_i = dC(q_i)/dq = 2q_i ……………………. (3)
Since q = q_1 + q_2, we have:
p = 3,600 - 4(q_1 + q_2)
p = 3,600 - 4q_1 - 4q_2 .................................... (4)
For Firm 1:
TR_1 = p * q_1 = (3,600 - 4q_1 - 4q_2)q_1
TR_1 = 3,600q_1 - 4q_1^2 - 4q_2q_1
MR_1 = dTR_1/dq_1 = 3,600 - 8q_1 - 4q_2
From equation (3), MC_1 = 2q_1
Since at the optimum MC_1 = MR_1, we have:
2q_1 = 3,600 - 8q_1 - 4q_2
10q_1 = 3,600 - 4q_2
q_1 = (3,600 - 4q_2)/10
q_1 = 360 - 0.4q_2 .......... (5)
For Firm 2:
TR_2 = p * q_2 = (3,600 - 4q_1 - 4q_2)q_2
TR_2 = 3,600q_2 - 4q_2q_1 - 4q_2^2
MR_2 = dTR_2/dq_2 = 3,600 - 4q_1 - 8q_2
From equation (3), MC_2 = 2q_2
Since at the optimum MC_2 = MR_2, we have:
2q_2 = 3,600 - 4q_1 - 8q_2
10q_2 = 3,600 - 4q_1
q_2 = (3,600 - 4q_1)/10
q_2 = 360 - 0.4q_1 .......... (6)
a. Calculation of Cournot equilibrium quantities
Substituting equation (6) for q_2 into equation (5), we have:
q_1 = 360 - 0.4(360 - 0.4q_1)
q_1 = 360 – 144 + 0.16q_1
q_1(1 – 0.16) = 216
q_1 = 216 / 0.84
q_1 = 257.14 <------------- Cournot equilibrium quantity for firm 1
Substitute for q_1 in equation (6), we have:
q_2 = 360 - 0.4(257.14)
q_2 = 360 – 102.86
q_2 = 257.14 <------------- Cournot equilibrium quantity for firm 2
b. Calculation of Cournot equilibrium price
Substitute for q_1 and q_2 into equation (4), we have:
p = 3,600 – 4(257.14) – 4(257.14)
p = 1,542.88
Therefore, under this cartel arrangement, they will maximize joint profits if each of the firm produces 25.14 and sells at $1,542.88 per unit.
The Assembly Department of Interface, Inc., manufacturer of computers, had 1 comma 500 units of beginning inventory in September, and 9 comma 000 units were transferred to it from the Production Department. The Assembly Department completed 4 comma 500 units during the month and transferred them to the Packaging Department. The weightedminusaverage method is used. Calculate the total number of units to account for by the Assembly Department.
Answer:
The correct answer is 10,500 Units
Explanation:
Solution:
Given that:
Now
Beginning WIP inventory in September = 1500
Units transferred in from Production Department = 9000
The next step is to calculate the total number of units to account for by the Assembly Department.
Hence,
The WIP inventory beginning in September + The Units transferred in from Production Department
= 1500 + 9000 = 10,500 units
Employees who report unethical behavior in their own workplace (whistleblowers) are protected by law. However, many are reluctant to draw negative attention to their companies because of loyalty to the company or fear of reprisals. Chances are good you will encounter questionable behavior at your workplace at some point during your career. How you respond will be a measure of your ability to analyze issues and choose the responsible option.
How can you blow the whistle legally and ethically?
A. If you can't find any satisfactory solutions to the problem, change jobs.
B. If you can't find any satisfactory solutions to the problem, accept the situation.
C. If you can't find any satisfactory solutions to the problem, sue the company
Answer:
Try to correct the problem from within the company.
Explanation:
In many cases, the ability to respond more responsibly to a problem in the workplace can be resolved internally. Communicating the unethical problem to the supervisor or a responsible person you trust within the company, can generate a quick and immediate solution for the problem to be solved, before taking the situation to a deeper level, such as a process for example. Because it is not always possible for the supervisor to be aware of all the problems that involve the organizational environment, so communication is the most effective way of trying to solve the problems.
Answer:
Talk to someone you trust for advice

Answer:
The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement = $2,696,666
Explanation:
Materials used in research and development projects = $945,000
Equipment acquired that will have alternate future uses in future research and development projects = $2,950,000
Depreciation = $491,666
Personnel costs = $745,000
Consulting fees = $295,000
Indirect costs = $220,000
The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement would be:
Materials used + Depreciation for 2021 + Personnel costs + Consulting fees + Indirect costs
= $945,000 + $491,666 + $745,000 + $295,000 + $220,000
= $2,696,666
Therefore, the amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement =$2,696,666

The term "benchmarking" as it relates to the hotel industry refers to a line-by-line analysis of an operating statement, comparing metrics for hotels of similar size or profile
Answer:
The term "benchmarking" as it relates to the hotel industry refers to comparing metrics for hotels of similar size or profile.
Explanation:
a) Benchmarking is a process wherein a company's products, services, business processes, or performance metrics are compared with a “best in class” competitor. The purpose of benchmarking is to enable organizations to make improvements by adapting specific best practices. A retail shop's metrics can be compared with the leading retail shop in your area. Given the deep insight gathered from benchmarking, this retail shop can decide to alter its line of products, the way it competes in the marketplace, or to undertake some improvements in her business processes.
There are four types of benchmarking, including internal, competitor, functional, and generic. Internal benchmarking is limited to internal processes. Competitor benchmarking compares one company's processes, products, or services to another. Functional benchmarking compares one function of an entity to another entity's. While generic benchmarking compares unrelated companies' processes or functions.

Determine whether each survey question is biased or unbiased. If biased, explain your reasoning. Do you prefer watching exciting football games or sitting through choir recitals?
1. biased; the question addresses more than one issue.
2. biased; the question encourages a certain response.
3. unbiased biased; the question causes a strong reaction.
Answer: 2. biased; the question encourages a certain response.
Explanation:
The question is biased because it already makes assumptions of the two activities.
It labels football games as EXCITING whilst asking if one would 'SIT THROUGH' choir recitals which is a way of saying that the choir recitals are BORING.
This question therefore elicits a certain response as most people would go with the Exciting activity so as not to be seen as boring people who would go to choir recitals.

2- Total overhead cost $140 8395.6
3- Overhead cost per unit.
$ 112.36 per unit of N Part 270
$ 4.96 per unit of Part XB2B
Explanation:
Direct Labor hours Machine hours Overhead costs
Molding 52,000 DLH 30,500 MH 6752,000
Trimming 48,000 DLH 3 , 600 MH $612,000

Molding 5,100 1.020
Trimming 2,600 650
Direct Labor Hours
Molding 5,500 2150
Trimming 700 3,500
We divide the Costs with the cost drivers to get the rates.
1-Departmental Overhead Rate
1) Molding Department = Overhead Costs/ Machine Hours
= 6752,000/ 30,500= $ 221.377= $ 221.38 per machine hour
2) Trimming Department= Overhead Costs/ Direct Labor Hours
=$612,000 /48,000 DLH = $ 12.75 per DLH
Now we multiply the cost drivers with the rates to get the overheads costs.
2- Total overhead cost= $ 1137963 + $ 270432.6= $140 8395.6
N Part 270 =$ 1129038 + $ 8925= $ 1137963
Molding = $ 221.38 *5,100 = $ 1129038
Trimming= $ 12.75 *700= $ 8925
Part XB2B= $ 225807.6 + $ 44625= $ 270432.6
Molding= $ 221.38 *1020 = $ 225807.6
Trimming= $ 12.75 *3500= $ 44625
We divide the overhead cost for each product with the number of units to get the unit costs.
3- Total Overhead Rate N Part 270 = Total Overhead Cost/ Units Produced
=$ 1137963 / 9300 = $ 112.36 per unit of N Part 270
Total Overhead Rate Part XB2B = Total Overhead Cost/ Units Produced
=$ 270432.6/54,500= $ 4.96 per unit of Part XB2B
New World Deli exchanged land for a more suitable parcel of land to be used for a new restaurant. New World Deli reported the old land at its original cost of $85,000. According to an independent appraisal, the old land currently is worth $110,000. New World Deli paid $15,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required:Record the exchange.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation
Explanation:
New World Dell exchanged old land for new land.
In the exchange, the old land was considered to be worth $110,000 according to an independent appraisal and yet New World Dell still had to pay an additional $15,000 to get it. This means that the new land is valued at,
= 110,000 + 15,000
= $125,000
The old land was however recorded at cost for New Dell so the properly recording would be,
DR Land, New $125,000
CR Land, Old $85,000
CR Cash $15,000
CR Gain on Exchange $25,000
(To record Exchange of land)
There is a gain because the old land was valued at $25,000 more than New World Dell had valued it for themselves.
On November 1, 2021, Warren Co. adopted a plan to discontinue its barge division, which qualifies as a separate component of the business according to GAAP regarding discontinued operations. The disposal of the division was expected to be concluded by April 30, 2022. On December 31, 2021, the company's year-end, the following information relative to the discontinued division was accumulated:Operating loss Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2021 $ 74 million Estimated operating losses, Jan. 1 to April 30, 2022 96 million Excess of fair value, less costs to sell, over book value at Dec. 31, 2021 11 million In its income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, Warren would report a before-tax loss on discontinued operations of:A. $170 million.B. $159 million.C. $74 million.D. $63 million.
Answer:
C. $74 million
Explanation:
The computation of before-tax loss on discontinued operations is shown below:-
Before-tax loss on discontinued operations = Operating loss (From Jan 1 to 31 Dec 2021)
= $74 million
Here, the assets are not impaired, because the fair value is greater than the book value. So, $74 million can be recorded as it is the operating loss and the same is to be considered
