Answer:
A. Use incentive controls that are linked to higher-level performance.
C. Matrix structure.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that Google has 7 business units as organized by page also at the same time the vice president has the full responsibility with respect to the success of each units so here the control would be that by using the incentive controls that are interconnected to the performance i.e. outsanding would results into the success of the each unit.
As Google has seven business units so here the structure form is of matrix structure as it deals with more than one organization structure that involves more responsibility, authority etc
Troy's financial records for the year reflect the following: Interest income from bank savings account $1,800 Taxable annuity receipts 3,600 City ad valorem property tax on investments 270 Investment interest expense 6,300 Calculate Troy's net investment income and his current investment interest deduction. How is a deduction for any potential excess investment interest treated
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Troy net investment income is
= Interest income generated from saving bank account + annuity receipt taxable - city and valorem property tax
= $1,800 + $3,600 - $270
= $5,130
The current interest deduction for the investment is $5,130
And, the treatment of the potential excess interest of the investment should be carried forward
The same is to be considered

Describe the difference between a fixed-quantity (Q) and a fixed-period (P) inventory systems and provide an example for each.
Answer and Explanation:
The fixed quantity inventory system, the quantity of an order or the lot size is fixed in nature i.e. the similar amount means the quantity is ordered each and every time. It could be managed by continonusly watching the level of inventory. Example - economic order quantity
On the other hand, the fixed period inventory system is a system in which the inventory is to be checked at fixed inventory. It is same as the periodic reveiw system instead of the continuous basis. Example - drugstore
A committee of size 5 is to be selected at random from 3 women and 5 men. The probability distribution for the number of women on the committee is normal.
Yes
No
9514 1404 393
Answer:
no
Explanation:
In general discrete distributions from small populations will not be "normal."
Here, the distribution of the number of women is ...
p(n = 0) = 1/56
p(n = 1) = 15/56
p(n = 2) = 30/56
p(n = 3) = 10/56
The distribution is asymmetric and skewed toward lower numbers.
It is NOT NORMAL.
Niendorf Corporation's 25-year maturity bonds have an 8.75% coupon rate with interest paid semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. The bonds are currently selling at a premium price of $1,250 in the bond market. What is their yield to maturity (YTM)?
Answer:
6.68%
Explanation:
FV= 1000
N = 25*2=50
PMT= 8.75%*1000/2= 43.75
PV = -1250
I/Y = RATE(25*2, 8.75%*1000/2, -1200, 1000)
I/Y = 0.033397
I/Y = 3.34%
YTM = 3.34% * 2
YTM = 6.68%
Kylie is a single mom with two dependent children, Tanner, age 7 and Olivia, age 11. She has AGI of $36,000 and paid $5,300 to a qualified day care center for the two children. What amount of credit can Kylie receive for the child and dependent care credit?
a. $5,300.
b. $1,060.
c. $1,200.
d. $1,272.
Answer:
d. $1,272.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of credit that received for child and dependent care credit is shown below:
= Total expense × applicable percentage
= $5,300 × 35% - {($36,000 - $15,000) ÷ $2,000 × 1%}
= $5,300 × 24%
= $1,272
hence, the amount of credit that received for child and dependent care credit is $1,272
McDonalds reported current year pretax book income of $365,000. Included in the computation were favorable temporary differences of $13,750, unfavorable temporary differences of $97,000, and unfavorable permanent differences of $45,000. McDonalds' current income tax expense or benefit would be
Answer:
the current income tax expense or benefit is $103,583
Explanation:
The computation of the current income tax expense or benefit is shown below:
Current income tax expense is
= (pre - tax book income - favourable temporary difference + unfavorable temporary difference + unfavourable permanent difference) × tax rate
= ($365,000 - $13,750 + $97,000 + $45,000) × 21%
= $493,250 × 21%
= $103,583
We assumed the tax rate be 21%
hence, the current income tax expense or benefit is $103,583

Answer:
A .Unlevered cost of equity = 9.6
b-1 Levered cost of equity = 28.69
b-2 Levered cost of equity = 14.37
b-3 Levered cost of equity = 9.6
Explanation:
A. First step is to calculate the E/A
D/A = D/(E+D)
D/A = 1.5/(1+1.5)
D/A=0.6
E/A = 1-D/A
E/A=1-0.6
E/A=0.4
Second Step is to calculate WACC using this formula
WACC = Levered cost of equity*E/A+Cost of debt*(1-tax rate)*D/A
Let plug in the formula
0.096= Levered cost of equity*=0.4+0.057*(1-0)*=0.6
Levered cost of equity =15.45%
Third step is to calculate UnLevered cost of equity using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
0.1545 = Unlevered cost of equity+1.5*(Unlevered cost of equity-0.057)*(1-0)
Unlevered cost of equity = 9.6
b-1. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were 2.0
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+2*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 28.69
b-2. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were 0.5
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+0.5*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 14.37
b-3. Calculation for What would the cost of equity be if the debt-equity ratio were zero
Using this formula
Levered cost of equity = Unlevered cost of equity+D/E*( Unlevered cost of equity-cost of debt)*(1-tax rate)
Let plug in the formula
Levered cost of equity = 9.6+0*(9.6-0.057)*(1-0)
Levered cost of equity = 9.6
A stock had returns of 5.10%, 31.60%, and -21.20% in each of the past three years. Over the past four years, the arithmetic average annual return for the stock was 6.75%. What was the geometric annual return for the stock over the past four years
Answer:
geometric annual return = 5.23%
Explanation:
first we must determine the return for year 4 (I will call it X)
5.1% + 31.6% - 21.2% + X = 6.75% x 4
14.5 + X = 27
X = 12.5%
geometric annual return = ⁴√(1.051 · 1.316 · 1.125 · 0.788) - 1 = ⁴√1.226132334 - 1 = 1.055287 - 1 = 0.055287 = 5.23%
On January 1, 2020, Sheridan Company purchased a machine costing $344000. The machine is in the MACRS 5-year recovery class for tax purposes and has an estimated $75000 salvage value at the end of its economic life. It's based on half year convention. Assuming the company uses the general MACRS approach, the amount of MACRS deduction for tax purposes for the year 2020 is:__________
Answer:
$68,800
Explanation:
Generally, under the General Depreciation System (GDS) MACRS we use the half-year convention and the depreciation rates are:
year depreciation %
1 20%
2 32%
3 19.20%
4 11.52%
5 11.52%
6 5.76%
When using MACRS, you do not consider any salvage value.
Depreciation expense 2020 = $344,000 x 20% = $68,800
The mid-quarter convention can be used only if 40% of total depreciable assets were purchased during the last 3 months of the year, but not when you purchase them during the first months.

To Unrealized Gain-Equity $300
(Being year-end adjustment is recorded)
The available for sale securities would be at fair market value
Therefore the unrealized gain would be $300
hence, the correct option is d.

The Harrison Company is closely held and, therefore, cannot generate reliable inputs with which to use the CAPM method for estimating a company’s cost of internal equity. Harrison’s bonds yield 11.52%, and the firm’s analysts estimate that the firm’s risk premium on its stock over its bonds is 3.55%. Based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, Harrison’s cost of internal equity is:a. 15.23% b. 16.75% c. 19.04% d. 18.28%
Answer:
the formula used to calculate the cost of equity (required rate of return) based on the bond yield plus risk premium is fairly simple:
cost of equity (Re) = yield of debt (bonds) + firm's risk premium = 11.52% + 3.55% = 15.07%
I'm not sure if the question was copied correctly or not, so I looked for similar questions and it included different numbers.
The Harrison Company is closely held and, therefore, cannot generate reliable inputs with which to use the CAPM method for estimating a company's cost of internal equity. Harrison's bonds yield 10.28%, and the firm's analysts estimate that the firm's risk premium on its stock over its bonds is 4.95%. Based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, Harrison's cost of Internal equity is: = 10.28% + 4.95% = 15.23%
Another question:
The Kennedy Company is closely held and, therefore, cannot generate reliable inputs with which to use the CAPM method for estimating a company's cost of internal equity. Kennedy's bonds yield 11.52%, and the firm's analysts estimate that the firm's risk premium on its stock over its bonds is 4.95%. Based on the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, Kennedy's cost of internal equity is: = 11.52% + 4.95% = 16.47%
Charger Company's most recent balance sheet reports total assets of $31,598,000, total liabilities of $18,648,000 and total equity of $12,950,000. The debt to equity ratio for the period is (rounded to two decimals):
Answer:
1.44
Explanation:
A debt-equity can be defined as a measure of the ratio of the total liabilities held by a company to its shareholder's equity. The debt-equity ratio can be found in a company's balance sheet and it's typically a strategic approach used to assess or evaluate the risks that are associated with a company's financing structure.
Given the following data;
Total assets = $31,598,000.
Total liabilities = $18,648,000.
Total equity = $12,950,000.
To find the debt-equity ratio;
[tex] Debt-equity \; ratio = \frac {Total \; liability}{Total \; equity} [/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Debt-equity \; ratio = \frac {18,648,000}{12,950,000} [/tex]
Debt-equity ratio = 1.44
Therefore, the debt to equity ratio for the period is 1.44.
Over a 20-year period an investment of $1,000 in common stocks returned an average of 11% in nominal terms and 4% in real terms. At the end of the 20 years, the portfolio value was:________
a. $3,679.19 in real terms.
b. $1,800 in real terms.
c. $8,062.31 in nominal terms.
d. $7,870.59 in nominal terms.
Answer:
c. $8,062.31 in nominal terms.
Explanation:
The portfolio value required which is at the end of 20 years is the future value of the amount invested initially($1000) , compounded at the nominal rate of return 11% per year as shown below:
FV=PV*(1+nominal interest rate)^n
PV=present value=initial invested=$1000
nominal interest rate=11%
n=time horizon of the investment=20 years
FV=$1000*(1+11%)^20= 8,062.31
During the prior fiscal year, Carla Vista Corp. signed a long-term noncancellable purchase commitment with its primary supplier to purchase $2.14 million of raw materials. Carla Vista paid the $2.14 million to acquire the raw materials when the raw materials were only worth $1.67 million. Assume that the purchase commitment was properly recorded. What is the journal entry to record the purchase
Answer:
First Carla Vista must record unrealized holding loss due to the purchase commitment:
Dr Unrealized holding gain/loss 470,000
Cr Estimated liability on purchase commitment 470,000
When the purchase is actually carried out, the journal entry should be:
Dr Raw materials inventory 1,670,000
Dr Estimated liability on purchase commitment 470,000
Cr Accounts payable (or cash) 2,140,000
Explanation:
If a company enters a noncancelable purchase commitment, if the market price of the goods is lower than the contract price, the company must record a loss. On the other hand, if the market price is above the contract price, it results in a contingency gain until the gain is recognized when the purchase is actually done.
If you purchase a 5-year, zero-coupon bond for $691.72, how much could it be sold for 3 years later if interest rates have remained stable
a. $848.12
b. $911.15
c. $923.50
d. $862.92
Answer:
$862.92
Explanation:
We use this formula in other to solve this problem
price at issue = Fv / (1+r)n
Price at issue = $691.72
Future value fv = 1000
When we substitute into the formula
$691.72 = $1,000/(1+i)⁵
(1+i)⁵ =$1,000/$691.72
(1+i)⁵ = 1.445672
1 + i = (1.445672)1/5
1+i = 1.445672^0.2
1 + i= 1.0765
So that
I = 1.0765 -1
= 0.0765 also 7.65 %
We have after 3 years,
Price = Future Value/ (1+i)²
= $1,000/ 1.0765)²
= $1,000 / 1.158852
This gives us the value of
$ 862.9232
Therefore option d is the correct answer to the question

Give two specific instances where an external research team would be useful and two other scenarios where an internal research team will be deployed, with adequate explanations as to why each scenario is justified for an external or internal team.
Answer:
Two Specific Instances for External Research Team are for conducting research on causes of losing customers and increase in the number of employees absenteeism in the organisation.
Two Specific Scenarios for Internal Research Team are conduct research about the decline in performance of its manufacturing department and increase in the corruption of sales department.
Explanation:
External Research TeamCauses on losing customers
In some cases, the information provided to determine the root and cause of an issue might be a complex one. For which even the expertise of an internal team to determine and resolve it is not enough. Therefore, an external team is sought it out, who have either faced with such scenarios or have tons of knowledge in such areas in order to provide instant solutions.
Increase in the number of employees absenteeism
In this case, the external research team would be much suited as there is a chance that there might be certain individuals or teams in the organisation who might have an influence on the internal research team to manipulate or misrepresent certain information (with regard to absent employee days) in the organisation.
Internal Research TeamDecline in the performance of its manufacturing department
In this case, the internal team would play a much better role as time could be insufficient to resolve the issue and the internal research team would require least amount of time to understand the philosophy, structure and functioning of the organisation's systems. While an external research team might take extensive time to understand the same.
Increase in the corruption of sales department
In order to determine the corruption, the research team would need to confirm that the policies and procedures placed are correctly being implemented. The internal research team, who are aware of these polices and producers, would much suited in this scenario. Moreover, they will be able to determine the effectiveness of the same and if any further changes are required or not.
If the money supply in the economy is currently at MS2, and the Fed uses open market operations to move the money supply to MS3, what is the overall effect on the economy?
Answer: c) Aggregate demand shifted out, causing GDP to rise
Explanation:
If the Fed increases money supply such that it moves from MS2 to MS3, there will be more money in the economy which would reduce the cost of borrowing.
Both people and firms will therefore borrow more to both consume and invest(both components of Aggregate demand) and this will lead to a rise in Aggregate demand causing it to shift out. The GDP will therefore rise as a result.
Managers need to build ____ by working on strong, constructive, and mutually beneficial relationships. a. groupthink b. social capital c. organizational politics d. informal groups e. nonconforming roles
Suppose capital is readily substitutable for labor and that the price of capital falls. We can conclude that the :_______________a) output effect will tend to reduce the demand for labor.b) demand for labor will necessarily decline.c) substitution effect will tend to reduce the demand for labor.d) demand for labor will necessarily increase.
Answer:
Option C: substitution effect will tend to reduce the demand for labor
Explanation:
Capital is simply anything man made that is used in the production of goods and service. It is that which is used by man to start any business venture or produce goods and services e.g. money(currency),machinery, buildings, stock etc. Labor is mans effort put into work.
Since capital is readily substitutable for labor and when the price of capital falls. We can say that the substitution effect will tend to reduce the demand for labor. If also capital and labor are used in rigidly fixed proportions and the price of capital falls, it can be concluded the substitution and output effects will work.
Suppose the economy is in an inflationary gap. According to neoclassical economists, what will happen

Suppose 17 pesos can be exchanged for $1. A Mexican businessman is interested in buying a home in Texas. If the price of the home in Texas is $200,000, how many Mexican pesos must he have to buy this home
Answer:
Total cost in pesos= $3,400,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
One dollar= $17 pesos
Total cost of the house= $200,000 dollars
To calculate the total cost in Mexican pesos, we need to multiply the exchange rate by the total cost in dollars.

In most cases, markets are considered more efficent and better off when monopolies are broken up. Why is it hard for governments to do this
Answer:
In simple words, it is hard for governments to break he monopolies as generally as these entities are generally protected by some kind of legal or social convention. A monopoly of an entity that has strategic importance for the nation could be harmful in long run. Also if an individual owns a monopoly due to some patent right etc. then breaking that up will be seen as social injustice.
