Glencoe
Answer:
Observant, critical, and Flexible
Explanation:
In business, Observant refers to the amity to notice the current market trends. This will provide you with a general idea on what the customers desire and seek an opportunity from that demand.
Critical is correlated with the ability to analyze and develop a proper plan to execute the initial idea until the profit was generated.
Flexible is correlated to the ability to make change. Rather than relying on personal opinion that can be biased, we need to open to changes and move according to the data that we collected from the market.
Last year Almazan Software reported $10.500 million of sales, $6.250 million of operating costs other than depreciation, and $1.300 million of depreciation. The company had $5.000 million of bonds that carry a 6.5% interest rate, and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 25%. This year's data are expected to remain unchanged except for one item, depreciation, which is expected to increase by $0.670 million. By how much will net income change as a result of the change in depreciation
Answer:
b. -$0.202 million
Explanation:
Missing word "The company uses the same depreciation calculations for tax and stockholder reporting purposes. Multiple choice a. -$0.232, b. -$0.202, c. -$0.155, d. -$0.193"
As depreciation is expected to increase this year by $0.31 million, therefore expenses will increase and will result in decrease in income before tax by $0.31 million
Additional tax saving on increase in depreciation = $0.31 * 35% = $0.108 million
Total change in net income = -$0.31 + $0.108 = -$0.202 million
A trading firm ABC, Inc. has been in continuous existence for the past 20 years. In the year 2004 it purchased 2000 baseball bats for $ 6 each and sold 1700 of these for $10 each. What was the profit or loss of the firm in 2004
Answer: $6,800
Explanation:
Profit (loss) = Revenue - Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Purchases - closing stock
= (2,000 * 6) - (300 * 6)
= $10,200
Total Revenue:
= 1,700 * 10
= $17,000
Profit = Revenue - cost of goods sold
= 17,000 - 10,200
= $6,800
(closing stock is 300 because 1,700 units were sold)
John’s Landscaping had shareholders that invested $150,000. The company has earned revenues of $75,000, of which $50,000 were collected. They have incurred expenses of $82,000. Calculate its net income. Group of answer choices
Answer:
the net income is -$7,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net income is shown below:
As we know that
Net income = earned revenues - incurred expenses
= $75,000 - $82,000
= -$7,000
By deducting the expenses from the revenues we can get the net income
But here the net income is in negative as the expenses are more than the revenues
So, the net income is -$7,000
In the last reporting period, Helena's Heavenly Fixture Company recorded 100,000 units sold for the first time in the history of the company. The price per unit was $89.99 and variable costs per unit at $36.39. Showing all work in the space provided, compute the contribution margin. Next, compute the fixed costs if the operating income is $4,020,000.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For the contribution margin
= Number of units sold × (Selling price - variable cost)
= 100,000 units × ($89.99 - $36.69)
= $5,360,000
Now the fixed cost is
= Contribution margin - operating income
= $5,360,000 - $4,020,000
= $1,340,000
hence, the same is to be relevant

Dehner corporation uses a job order costing system with a single plant wide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data.
Total direct labor hours 70,000
Total manufacturing fixed overhead cost $273,000
Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour $6.
Given that;
Number of units produced = 100
Direct labor hours = 100
Direct materials = $800
Direct labor cost = $10,700
The unit product cost for jobP951 is
Direct materials = $800
Direct labor cost= $10,700
Variable manufacturing overhead = $6 × 100 = $600
Total fixed manufacturing overhead = $273,000
Total cost = ($800 + $10,700 + $600 + $273,000) = $285,100
Unit product cost = $285,100 ÷ 100
Unit product cost = $2,851
Explain how current economic indicators, such as inflation and unemployment, affect you personally. Explain how they may affect you as a manager
Answer is given below :
Explanation:
In an economy, inflation raises the price level of the basket of goods and services, thus reducing the demand for this affected good and services. This decrease will increase the listings in companies as sales of these goods and services will decrease. Production is the work of labor and capital, NRSE inflation is reduced and there is no need for more production at the company level to reduce the inventory sold, which allows firms to reduce costs in the form of labor cost and other variable costCompanies tend to sell their untold innovations due to declining sales and top-downs that reduce profit margin. Therefore managers are concerned about the profitability of the company and their bonus.The price of houses in Bellevue area has been increasing by 10% since last year, according to Zillow Group of answer choices This is a negative statement This is a judgmental statement This is a normative statement This is a positive statement

Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate is $30
Explanation:
1- Predetermined Overhead rate is :
Budgeted Factory Overhead / Budgeted Machine hours
$1,980,000 / 66,000 hours = $30 per machine hour.
The predetermined overhead rate is estimated by company management for the per unit overhead. In this case the machine hours are used as cost driver and the estimated overhead is divided by machine hours to identify overhead cost per machine hour.
Amy Monroe wants to create a fund today that will enable her to withdraw $25,000 per year for 8 years, with the first withdrawal to take place 5 years from today. If the fund earns 8% interest, how much must Amy invest today
Answer:
$114,047
Explanation:
We are required to find the amount to be Invested today (Present Value)
Summary of the Cashflows are :
Year 0 = $0
Year 1 = $0
Year 2 = $0
Year 3 = $0
Year 4 = $0
Year 5 = $25,000
Year 6 = $25,000
Year 7 = $25,000
Year 8 = $25,000
Year 9 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Manually
We can calculate the Net Present Value by discounting each individual payment at their appropriate period and adding up the totals to arrive at the Present Values.
PV = FV / ( 1 + R) ^ n
Where,
FV = the future cash flow stream ($25,000)
R = interest rate 8%
n = year (n = 5 for the first payment)
Financial Calculator
Alternatively we can calculate this using the CF Function of the Financial calculator as follows :
$ 0 = CFj
4 = Nj
$25,000 = CFj
8 = Nj
Shift NPV = $114,047

B. provide liquid assets to lenders and long-term financing to borrowers. C. are types of mutual funds. D. have customer deposits as its primary asset and that provide liquid assets to lenders. E. increase transaction costs to both borrowers and depositors.
Answer:
By a process of elimination, the answer is:
B. provide liquid assets to lenders and long-term financing to borrowers.
Explanation:
A. have customer deposits as its primary asset and loans to borrowers as their primary liability. ⇒ WRONG, IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND
C. are types of mutual funds. ⇒ WRONG, MUTUAL FUNDS ARE DIFFERENT THAN BANKS
D. have customer deposits as its primary asset and that provide liquid assets to lenders. ⇒ WRONG, DEPOSITS ARE LIABILITIES
E. increase transaction costs to both borrowers and depositors. ⇒ WRONG, BANKS DECREASE TANSACTION COSTS
Personally, I believe that a better description would be that banks have customer deposits as its primary liabilities and loans to borrowers as their primary assets.

calculate mpc when a change in investment spending of $40 million leads to an increase in real gdp by $160 million
Answer:
mpc is equal to 0.75
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Increase in real gdp = multiplier * change in investment spending ............ (1)
Where;
Increase in real gdp = $160 million
multiplier = ?
change in investment spending = $40 million
By suppressing the million, substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for multiplier, we have:
$160 = mpc * $40
multiplier = $160 / $40 = 4
The multiplier is given as follows:
multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) .................... (2)
Substituting multiplier = 4 into equation (2), and solve for mpc, we have:
4 = 1 / (1 - mpc)
4(1 - mpc) = 1
4 - 4mpc = 1
4 - 1 = 4mpc
3 = 4mpc
mpc = 3 / 4
mpc = 0.75
Therefore, marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is equal to 0.75.

Mae Company sells its product for $12 per unit and has variable costs of $8 per unit. Total fixed costs are $60,000. Suppose variable costs increase by 10% due to an increase in the cost of direct materials. What will be the effect on the breakeven point in units
Answer:
Effect : Increase in Break Even units by 3,750 units to 18,750 units
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of activity at which a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss
Break even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Costs per unit
= $12 - $8
= $4
Therefore,
Before Increase
Break even Point (Units) = $60,000 ÷ $4 = 15,000
After Increase
New Contribution = $12 - ($8× 1.10)
= $3.20
Therefore,
Break even Point (Units) = $60,000 ÷ $3.20 = 18,750
If the Edwards production plan for the next period includes 1000 units of component 1 and 800 units of component 2, what purchases do you recommend
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Particulars Supplier
1 2 3 Overall
Component 1 1000 1000
Component 2 650 50 100 800
From the above table the component 1 should be ordered to supplier 2 as the price is lesser in this case and also it is able to supply total production needed as per the component 1
In addition to this, the component 2 should be ordered to supplier 1 for 650 units as the price is lesser and the remaining balance could be ordered from supplier 2 or 3 as the prices are similar
The Federal Reserve buys $44.00 million in Treasury securities. If the required reserve ratio is 30.00%, and all currency is deposited into the banking system, and banks hold excess reserves of 10%, then the maximum amount the money supply can increase is $ million. (Insert your answer in millions; if you think the answer is $30 million, just enter 30. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
the money supply would increased by 98
Explanation:
The computation of the maximum amount by which the money supply could increase is shown below;
= Deposit × 1 ÷ Reserve ratio
= 44 × 1 ÷ (0.35 + 0.10)
= 44 × 1 ÷ 0.45
= 44 × 2.2222
= 98
Hence, the money supply would increased by 98
It could be determined by applying the above formula
