Answer: an admission in court
Explanation:
An admission is a statement that is made when an individual admits that some facts are true before a trial begins. An admission is quite different from a confession.
In Dawg Stop's suit against Condiment Vendor, Inc., Dawg serves a written request for Condiment to admit the truth of matters relating to the trial. Condiment's admission in response is the equivalent of an admission in court.
"A 55-year old individual has just retired after working for the same employer for 20 years. She will collect an annual pension benefit of $55,000, but is not yet ready to stop working.She has lined up a part-time job that will pay $4,000 this coming year. How much can she contribute to a Traditional Individual Retirement Account for her first year in retirement?"
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Based on this scenario, this individual would be able to contribute a total of $4,000 to a Traditional Individual Retirement Account for this year. This is because a traditional IRA allows you to contribute 100% of your earned income up to a capped $5,500 per year but does not allow you for pension income contributions. Therefore this individual cannot contribute any of the $55,000 but can contribute all of the $4,000 she earned since she does not reach the limit.

logistics cost factors are cost factors associated with logistics ( concerned with acquisition, storage and transportation ofresources) based on the kind of business or kind of products or services a company is into. From the above we see that logistics cost factors vary as the companies are into different products or services and industries and therefore face different logistics costs associated with their production and or delivery. Every company aims to achieve logistics efficiency through minimizing costs associated with their logistics costs factors example Hyundai with transportation logistics cost factors would aim to reduce it's logistics cost factors and maximise profits by its locating it's manufacturing plant close to where it imports parts for it's vehicle manufacturing so as to reduce cost of transporting vehicle parts to manufacturing plant
Both Nadia and Samantha are applying to insure their car against theft. Nadia lives in a secure neighborhood, where the probability of theft is 10%. Samantha lives in a lesser secure neighborhood where the probability of theft is 25%. Both Nadia and Samantha own cars worth $10,000, and are willing to pay $100 over expected loss for insurance.
If the insurance company can successfully screen both Nadia and Samantha into appropriate contracts, it would earn:_______
a. $3500 loss.
b. Between zero and $200.
c. Between zero and $200 loss.
d. $3500 gain.
Answer:
Option B, between zero and $200, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The probability that the car of Nadia can be theft = 10%
The probability that the car of Samantha can be theft = 25%
Here, both Nadia and Samantha are agreed or willing to pay the premium for insurance = $100
Since both pay the $100 premium each then the total revenue of the company will be $200. This is the maximum amount that the company can make. However, if the minimum amount is zero when both don’t take insurance. Thus, option B, between zero and $200 is correct.
Umbridge Purses Unlimited sells purses with a sales price of $35 each. Each purse costs the company $20 to produce, and the store incurs a total of $300,000 in fixed costs each year. What is the yearly breakeven point in units?
a. 8,572 purses
b. 10,000 purses
c. 15,000 purses
d. 20,000 purses
e. None of the above
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 20,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $35
Unitary variable cost= $20 t
Total fixed cost= $300,000
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 300,000/ (35 - 20)
Break-even point in units= 20,000 units
Serena Medavoy will invest $5,890 a year for 17 years in a fund that will earn 12% annual interest. Click here to view factor tables If the first payment into the fund occurs today, what amount will be in the fund in 17 years
Answer:
$287,924.84
Explanation:
We are to calculate the future value of the annuity
The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)
B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
[(1.12)^17 - 1] / 0.12 = 48.883674
$5,890 x 48.883674 = $287,924.84
Themarketpriceofasecurityis$50.Itsexpectedrateofreturnis14%.Therisk-freerateis6%, and the market risk premium is 8.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correla- tion coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
Answer:
$31.82
Explanation:
market price $50
expected rate of return /Re) = 14%
Div = $50 x 14% = $7
risk free rate (Rf) = 6%
market premium (Rm - Rf) = 8.5%
beta = ?
14% = 6% + (beta x 8.5%)
beta x 8.5% = 14% - 6% = 8%
beta = 8% / 8.5 = 0.941
if beta doubles to 1.882, then Re will be:
Re = 6% + (1.882 x 8.5%) = 22%
new market price of the stocks = $7 / 22% = $31.818 = $31.82
6. If negative float appears on a partial path (until certain activity), the most likely explanation is: a. One or more activities on that path is running late. b. The project is not meeting its expected completion date. c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date. d. It must be a software glitch.
Answer:
c. The project is meeting its expected completion date but a certain activity/ event on that path is not meeting its expected completion date.
Explanation:
Float is the total amount of a project delay. A negative float means a delay longer than the intended or allowed float at a given time. This means that a float is an activity that takes longer than initially thought. Some projects have built-in standard floats, which are calculated based on previous experience of similar projects, with allowances given for some different expected backstory.Which of the following products probably accounted for by a company using a job order costing system? A) facial tissue B) Hershey Kisses C) Marshmallow Peeps D) A custom built house
Answer: D) A custom built house
Explanation:
Job Order Costing determines the cost of each specific good instead of grouping them all together. When making goods that vary in type, this is the best type of costing method to use as it will take into account the unique cost objects used.
Custom built houses will require cost objects that are different from standadized houses. A specific design will have to be used, non standard material and the like will be used as well. This means that when computing cost, it will have to be specific to the needs of the custom house so it is most probable that Job Order Costing was used.

Tom Scott is the owner, president, and primary salesperson for Scott Manufacturing. Because of this, the company's profits are driven by the amount of work Tom does. If he works 40 hours each week, the company's EBIT will be $585,000 per year; if he works a 50-hour week, the company's EBIT will be $1.65 million, and it can issue equity or issue debt with an interest rate of 9 percent. Assume there are no corporate taxes.
Required:
a. What are the cash flows to Tom under each scenario?
b. Under which form of financing is Tom likely to work harder?
Answer:
a.
If debt is issued;
40 Hour week;
EBIT = $585,000
Cash flows to Tom = EBIT - Interest
Interest will be on the $1.65 million that needs to be borrowed so;
= 9% * 1,650,000
= $148,500
Cash Flow to Tom = 585,000 - 148,500
= $436,500
50 Hour Week
Cashflows to Tom = EBIT - Interest
= 695,000 - 148,500
= $546,500
If Equity is Issued;
Company is worth $3.55 million but a $1.65 million investment is needed. If equity is issued for the cash, Tom will only own $3.55 million out of the ne total value.
= 3.55/(3.55 + 1.65)
= 3.55/5.2
40 Hour Week
Cash flow to Tom = EBIT * Tom ownership
= 585,000 * 3.55/5.2
= $399,375
50 Hour Week
= 695,000 * 3.55/5.2
= $474,471.15
b. Under Debt Issue because more cashflow of $546,500 will be due to him.
Monthly production costs in Dilts Company for two levels of production are as follows. Cost 2,000 Units 4,000 Units Indirect labor $10,000 $20,000 Supervisory salaries 5,000 5,000 Maintenance 4,000 6,000 Indicate which costs are variable, fixed, and mixed. Indirect labor select a type of costs Supervisory salaries select a type of costs Maintenance select a type of costs
Answer:
Indirect Labor - Variable Cost
This is a Variable cost as it changes alone with the production quantity. At 2,000 units the Indirect labor costs were $10,000 and at 4,000 units that figure had gone up to $20,000.
Supervisory Salaries - Fixed Costs
These salaries are a fixed cost because fixed costs do not change with production quantity and neither did these. When quantity produced was 2,000 units, these salaries were $5,000 and this did not change even when production quantity went up to 4,000 units.
Maintenance Salaries - Mixed Costs
Mixed costs have elements of both fixed and variable costs. The Maintenance cost per unit here is;
= (6,000 - 2,000) / ( 4,000 - 2,000)
= $2 per unit
Cost when units are 2,000 using the $2 per unit rate is indeed $4,000. However if the $2 per unit was multiplied with 4,000 units, the cost should be $8,000 instead it is $6,000. It is therefore a mixed cost.
Dorsey Company manufactures three products from a common input in a joint processing operation.
Joint processing costs up to the split-off point total $350,000 per quarter.
The company allocates these costs to the joint products on the basis of their relative sales value at the split-off point.
Unit selling prices and total output at the split-off point are as follows:
Product Selling Price Quarterly Output
A $16 per pound 15,000
B $8 per pound 20,000
C $25 per gallon 4,000
Each product can be processed further after the split-off point. Additional processing requires no special facilities.
The additional processing costs (per quarter) and unit selling prices after further processing are given below:
Product Additional Processing Costs Selling Price
A $63,000 $20 per pound
B $80,000 $13 per pound
C $36,000 $32 per gallon
a. Compute the incremental profit (loss) for each product.
b. Which product or products should be sold at the split-off point and which product or products should be processed further? Show Computations.
Answer:
Product A B C
Incremental profit/(loss) (3 ,000) 20,000 (8,000)
b
Process further : Product B
Sell at the split of point : Product A and C
Explanation:
Question a
A company should process further a product if the additional revenue from the split-off point is greater than than the further processing cost.
Also note that all cost incurred up to the split-off point are irrelevant to the decision to process further .
Additional sales revenue = Sales revenue after further processing - sales revenue after split-off point .
Product A B C
Sales after split of point 20 13 32
Sales at the split off point (16) ( 8) (25)
Additional rev per unit 4 5 7
Quantity × 15,000 20,000 4,000
Additional sales rev 60,000 100,000 28,000
Further processing cost ( 63,000) ( 80,000) (36,000)
Incremental profit/(loss) (3 ,000) 20,000 (8,000)
Question b
Products A and Product C should be sold at the split of point
Doing so would save the the company the $11,000 in incremental losses ( 3,000+ 8,000).
Product B should be process further as it would produce an incremental profit of $20,000
Chris purchased a 10 year 100 par value bond where 6% coupons are paid semiannually. Cheryl purchased a 100 par value bond where 6% coupons are paid semiannually. There is no maturity date or redemption value for Cheryl’s bond. Cheryl paid $100 for her bond. The yield for Chris’s bond is 80% of the yield for Cheryl’s bond. How much did Chris pay for his bond?
Answer:
The amount Chris pay for his bond = $109.44
Explanation:
Given that:
Chris purchased a 10 year 100 par value bond where 6% coupons are paid semiannually. Cheryl purchased a 100 par value bond where 6% coupons are paid semiannually.
The Price of the Cheryl's bond is 6% given that it is purchased at at par value where 6% coupons are paid.
Suppose The yield for Chris’s bond is 80% of the yield for Cheryl’s bond.
Then:
Price of the Cheryl's bond = Present Value of the coupon in perpetuity
∴
[tex]100=\dfrac{3}{Yield}[/tex]
Yield=[tex]\dfrac{100}{3}[/tex]
Yield =0.03
Yield = 3%
The Yield of Chris = 0.8 × 3
The Yield of Chris = 2.4% semiannual
However;
Present Value of the coupons is: [tex]PV= \dfrac{A*[ (1+r)^n -1]}{[(1+r)^n * r] }[/tex]
[tex]PV= \dfrac{3*[ (1+0.024)^{20} -1]}{[(1+0.024)^{20} *0.024 ] }[/tex]
[tex]PV= \dfrac{3*[ (1.024)^{20} -1]}{[(1.024)^{20} *0.024 ] }[/tex]
[tex]PV= \dfrac{3*[1.606938044 -1]}{[1.606938044 *0.024 ] }[/tex]
[tex]PV= \dfrac{3*[0.606938044]}{[0.03856651306 ] }[/tex]
[tex]PV= \dfrac{1.820814132}{0.03856651306 }[/tex]
PV = 47.21
The PV of the face value = [tex]\dfrac{100}{(1+r)^n}[/tex]
The PV of the face value = [tex]\dfrac{100}{(1+0.024)^{20}}[/tex]
The PV of the face value = [tex]\dfrac{100}{(1.024)^{20}}[/tex]
The PV of the face value = [tex]\dfrac{100}{1.606938044}[/tex]
The PV of the face value = 62.230
Finally:
The amount Chris pay for his bond = PV of the coupons + PV of the face value
The amount Chris pay for his bond = 47.21 + 62.230
The amount Chris pay for his bond = $109.44

Roberto Corporation was organized on January 1, 2021. The firm was authorized to issue 91,000 shares of $5 par common stock. During 2021, Roberto had the following transactions relating to shareholders' equity: Issued 9,600 shares of common stock at $6.70 per share. Issued 20,000 shares of common stock at $10.10 per share. Reported a net income of $107,000. Paid dividends of $55,000. Purchased 3,100 shares of treasury stock at $12.10 (part of the 20,000 shares issued at $10.10). What is total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021
Answer:
The total shareholders' equity at the end of 2021 is $465,830
Explanation:
Treasury stock = Shares purchased * Purchase price
Treasury stock = 3,100 shares $12.10 per share
Treasury stock = $37,510
Shareholder′ s equity = Equity capital + Net income - Dividend - Treasury stock
Shareholder′ s equity = $266,320 + $107,000 + $55,000 + $37,510
Shareholder′ s equity = $465,830
Working
Equity capital = (Shares issued × Issue Price) + (Shares issued * Issue price)
Equity capital = (9,600 * $6.70) + (20,000 * $10.10)
Equity capital = $64,320 + $202,000
Equity capital = $266,320
Creative Sports Design (CSD) manufactures a standard-size racket and an oversize racket. The firm’s rackets are extremely light due to the use of a magnesium-graphite alloy that was invented by the firm’s founder. Each standard-size racket uses 0.125 kilograms of the alloy and each oversize racket uses 0.4 kilograms; over the next two-week production period only 80 kilograms of the alloy are available. Each standard-size racket uses 10 minutes of manufacturing time and each oversize racket uses 12 minutes. The profit contributions are $10 for each standard-size racket and $15 for each oversize racket, and 40 hours of manufacturing time are available each week. Management specified that at least 20% of the total production must be the standard-size racket. How many rackets of each type should CSD manufacture over the next two weeks to maximize the total profit contribution? Assume that because of the unique nature of their products, CSD can sell as many rackets as they can produce.
Answer:
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total profit contribution = (165 x $15) + (42 x $10) = $2,895
Explanation:
materials machine hours profit
standard size 0.125 kg 1/6 $10
oversize 0.4 kg 1/5 $15
constraints 80 kilograms of materials
40 hours of manufacturing
profit per machine hour:
standard size $10 x 6 = $60 x 40 hours = $2,400 (total possible production = 240 rackets)
oversize $15 x 5 = $75 x 40 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
profit per kilogram of alloy:
standard size $10 / 0.125 = $80 x 80 kgs = $6,400 (total possible production = 480 rackets)
oversize $15 / .4 = $37.50 x 80 hours = $3,000 (total possible production = 200 rackets)
since the most important constraint is the manufacturing hours available, the company should try to produce the products that yield the highest contribution margin per machine hour. In this case, at least 20% of total production must be standard size rackets, so the remaining 80% should be oversize rackets that yield a higher profit.
165 oversize rackets = 32 machine hours (79.71% of total production)
42 standard size rackets = 7 machine hours (20.29% of total production)
total manufacturing time = 40 hours
if we produce 166 oversize rackets and 41 standard size rackets, total manufacturing time will exceed 40 hours (40.03 hours exactly).
Bradshaw Inc. is contemplating a capital investment of $88,000. The cash flows over the project’s four years are: Year Expected Annual Cash Inflows Expected Annual Cash Outflows 1 $30,000 $12,000 2 45,000 20,000 3 60,000 25,000 4 50,000 30,000 The cash payback period is
Answer: 3.50 years
Explanation:
The Payback period is a method of checking the viability of a project. It measures how long it will take a project to pay back it's initial investment.
Formula is;
= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback
Year 1 Net Cash Inflow
= Cash Inflow - Cash Outflow
= 30,000 - 12,000
= $18,000
Year 2
= 45,000 - 20,000
= $25,000
Year 3
= 60,000 - 25,000
= $35,000
Year 4
= 50,000 - 30,000
= $20,000
Year 1 + 2 + 3
= 18,000 + 25,000 + 35,000
= $78,000
Amount remaining till payback
= Investment - Cash inflow so far
= 88,000 - 78,000
= $10,000
= Year before payback + Cash remaining till payback/ Cash inflow in year of payback
= 3 + 10,000/20,000
= 3.50 years
All of the following are alternative forms of institutional advertisements EXCEPT:
A. competitive
B. public service
C. reminder
D. pioneering
E. advocacy
Answer: B. Public Service
Explanation:
There are 4 alternative forms of institutional advertisements being;
Competitive - These types of adverts aim to show that the product presented is better than that of the competitor by showcasing its benefits and features.Reminder - As the term implies, this advertisement is meant to remind you. Remind you of the product being offered and how it has been beneficial to you.Pioneering - This is for products that are just starting out and need to be introduced to inform the market of its existence.Advocacy - These focus on telling the audience the position a company has on an issue.These are the four alternative forms of institutional advertisements and Public Service is not one of them.
If the desired daily output is 458 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
Complete question:
Production process consists of a three step operation. Scrap rate is 19% for the first step and 11% for the other two steps.
If the desired daily output is 458 units, how many units must be started to allow for loss due to scrap? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
Answer:
784 units
Explanation:
Given that:
Scrap rate at first step = 19%
Scrap rate at second step = 11%
Scrap rate at third step = 11%
Desired output unit = 458
After first step,
Material left= (100% - 19%) = 81%
After second step,
Material left = (100% - 11%) = 89%
After third step :
Material left = (100% - 11%) = 89%
Therefore, to compensate for scrap in the first step and attain desired output unit:
Units that must be started :
Desired output unit / (81%)*(89%)*(89%)
458 / (0.81)*(0.89)*(0.89)
458 / 0.583929
= 784.34193 units
= 784 units

The Bell Weather Co. is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend by 20 percent next year and then decreasing the growth rate to a constant 5 percent per year. The company just paid its annual dividend in the amount of $1 per share. What is the current value of a share if the required rate of return is 14 percent?
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $13.33
Explanation:
The two stage growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of the share today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The price of this stock under this model can be calculated as follows,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + [ (D0 * (1+g1) * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r) ]
Where,
g1 is the initial growth rate which is 20%g2 is the constant growth rate which is 5%r is the required rate of returnP0 = 1 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.14) + [ (1 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.05) / (0.14 - 0.05)) / (1+0.14) ]
P0 = $13.33
If a department that applies process costing starts the reporting period with 40,000 physical units that were 80% complete with respect to direct materials and 50% complete with respect to direct labor, it must add 8,000 equivalent units of direct materials and 20,000 equivalent units of direct labor to complete them.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Equivalent units
Direct material:
Balance of work = 100-80 = 20%
Equivalent of work to be added = 20% × 40,000 = 8,000
Labour
Balance of work = 100-50= 50%
Equivalent of work to be added =50% × 40,000 = 20,000 units
Equivalent of work to be added(units)
Material 8000
Labour 20,000

Answer:
B. 980 units
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The full question is therefore presented before answering the question as follows:
Mayfield Company sells two products, Blue models and Plaid models. Blue models sell for $40 per unit with variable costs of $20 per unit. Plaid models sell for $54 per unit with variable costs of $25 per unit. Total fixed costs for the company are $24,500. Mayfield Company typically sells four Blue models for every four Plaid models. What is the breakeven point in total units? (Round any intermediary calculations to the nearest whole number).
A. 211 units
B. 980 units
C. 125 units
D. 3,063 units
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total contribution margin and total sales mix.
From the excel file, we have:
Total contribution margin = $196
Total sales mix = $8
We can now calculate weighted contribution margin as follows:
Weighted contribution margin = Total contribution margin / Total sales mix = $196 / 8 = $24.5, or $25 rounded to the nearest whole number
Therefore, we have:
Breakeven point in total units = Total fixed costs / Weighted contribution margin = $24,500 / $25 = 980 units
Therefore, the option is B. 980 units.

Sports Company makes snowboards, downhill skis, cross-country skies, skateboards, surfboards, and in-line skates. The company found it beneficial to split operations into two divisions based on the climate required for the sport: Snow Sports and Non-Snow Sports. The following divisional information is available for the past year:
Sales Operating Income Total Assets Crrent Liabilities ROI
Snow Sports 5,800,000 $ $ 990,000 4,400,000 500,000 22.5%
Non-Snow $ 8,800,000 $ 1,512,000 $ $ 6,300,000$ 750,000 24.0%
Sports
Tests management has specified a target 15% rate of return.
Compute each division's residual income. Interpret your results. Are your results consistent with each division's ROI?
Answer:
I. Residual Income:
Snow division
Residual Income = Operating income - (Total assets × Target rate of return)
Residual Income = $990,000 - ($4,400,000 * 15%)
Residual Income = $330,000
Thus, The residual income of the snow division is $330,000.
Non-snow division
Residual Income = Operating income - (Total assets × Target rate of return)
Residual Income = $1,512,000 - ($6,300,000 * 15%)
Residual Income = $567,000
Thus, The residual income of the non-snow division is $567,000
ii. The divisions have positive residual incomes, that is, both the divisions are earning income more than the target return on the investments.
iii. The results are consistent with the return on investment calculations of both the divisions.
