Explanation:
Eclectic Paradigm is a three-tiered evaluation process which a company that plans to go international must follow in determining whether it would profit the company better limiting its operations to the domestic market or extending its operations to the international market.
The eclectic paradigm is called the OLI model or framework. It examines the Ownership Rights, Locational Advantages, and Internalization Factors. This helps the company to make decisions that are beneficial to it.
Property rights and corruption are aspects of the Ownership Rights that must be considered. Failure to put these factors into consideration may expose the company to risks and uncertainties and greatly reduce the ability of the company to increase economic benefits arising from transactions.
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. At the end of 2021, the temporary difference is $288 million. Payne has no other temporary differences and no valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. Taxable income for 2021 is $684 million and the tax rate is 25%. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry(s) to record Payne’s income taxes for 2021, assuming it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized in full. 2.

Sunland Corporation produces outdoor portable fireplace units. 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%

Static and Flexible Budgets Graham Corporation used the following data to evaluate its current operating system. The company sells items for $10 each and used a budgeted selling price of $10 per unit.
Actual Budgeted
Units sold 991,000 1,000,000
Variable costs 1,280,000 1,500,000
Fixed costs 955,000 905,000
Prepare the actual income statement, flexible budget, and static budget.
Answer:
Actual Budgeted
Units sold 991,000 1,000,000
Variable costs 1,280,000 1,500,000
Fixed costs 955,000 905,000
Actual Results Flexible Budget Static Budget
Units sold 991,000 991,000 1,000,000
Revenues $9,910,000 $9,910,000 $10,000,000
Variable costs -$1,280,000 -$1,486,500 -$1,500,000
Contr. margin $8,630,000 $8,423,500 $8,500,000
Fixed costs -$955,000 -$905,000 -$905,000
Operating income $7,675,000 $7,518,500 $7,595,000
The static budget only considers standard revenue (units sold and price) and costs (both variable and fixed). While a flexible budget will be calculated using standard costs but with actual units sold and produced. Both static and flexible budgets use the same fixed costs, only variable costs and revenues differ.
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 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.

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.
Crane Co. incurred research and development costs in 2021 as follows: Materials used in research and development projects $ 945000 Equipment acquired that will have alternate future uses in future research and development projects 2950000 Depreciation for 2021 on above equipment 491666 Personnel costs of persons involved in research and development projects 745000 Consulting fees paid to outsiders for research and development projects 295000 Indirect costs reasonably allocable to research and development projects 220000 $5646666 The amount of research and development costs charged to Crane's 2021 income statement should be
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
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.

Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = $1 / 1
Marginal cost of eleventh ring tone = $1
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%
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
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.
Journalize the following transactions in the accounts of Zippy Interiors Company, a restaurant supply company that uses the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible receivables: May 24 Sold merchandise on account to Old Town Cafe $18,450. The cost of goods sold was $11,000. Sept. 30 Received $6,000 from Old Town Cafe and wrote off the remainder owed on the sale of May 24 as uncollectible. Dec. 7 Reinstated the account of Old Town Cafe that had been written off on September 30 and received $12,450 cash in full payment. For a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
Answer:
Explanation:
Prepare the journal entry to record the sale of merchandise on account, and the cost of goods sold.
Date Particulars Debit Credit
May 24 Accounts receivable – O T Cafe $18,450
Sales $18,450
(To record sale of merchandise on account)
May 24 Cost of merchandise sold $11,000
Merchandise inventory $11,000
(To record the cost of goods sold)
Table (1)
Sale on account increases accounts receivable and sales revenue account. Hence, an increase in accounts receivable (asset account) is debited with $18,450 and an increase in sales revenue (stockholders’ equity account) is credited with $18,450.
Cost of goods sold is $11,000. Thus the expense incurred must be recognized by increasing cost of goods sold account and the merchandise inventory which is sold out should be decreased to record the inventory which is sold out. Hence, an increase in Cost of goods sold (expense account) is debited with $11,000 and a decrease in Merchandise inventory (asset account) is credited with $11,000.
2.
Prepare the journal entry to record the collection of cash and write-off of uncollectible accounts, under direct write-off method.
Date Particulars Debit Credit
September 30 Cash $6,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts $12,450
Account receivable – O T Cafe $18,450
(To record cash collection and write-off of uncollectible account receivable )
Table (2)
To record the collection of cash on account, cash account must be increased and accounts receivable must be decreased by $6,000.
To record this write-off of uncollectible receivables of $12,450 ($18,450−$6,000)($18,450−$6,000) under allowance method, both allowance for doubtful accounts and accounts receivable must be decreased by $12,450

On December 31, 2020, Berclair Inc. had 460 million shares of common stock and 3 million shares of 9%, $100 par value cumulative preferred stock issued and outstanding. On March 1, 2021, Berclair purchased 24 million shares of its common stock as treasury stock. Berclair issued a 5% common stock dividend on July 1, 2021. Four million treasury shares were sold on October 1. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $700 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Also outstanding at December 31 were incentive stock options granted to key executives on September 13, 2016. The options are exercisable as of September 13, 2020, for 30 million common shares at an exercise price of $56 per share. During 2021, the market price of the common shares averaged $70 per share.
In 2017, $50.0 million of 8% bonds, convertible into 6 million common shares, were issued at face value.
Required:
Compute Berciair's basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Answer:
Basic earnings per share = $1.46
Diluted earnings per share = $1.40
Explanation:
Basic earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net income for the year ended December 31 $700,000,000
Less Preference dividend ( 3,000,000 × 9%×$100×5%) ($1,350,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $698,650,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders Calculation :
Common Shares 1 January 2021 460 million
Purchased On March 1, 2021, (10/12×24,000,000) 20 million
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders 480 million
Basic earnings per share = $698,650,000/ 480,000,000
= $1.46
Diluted earnings per share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock /Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net income for the year ended December 31 $700,000,000
Less Preference dividend ( 3,000,000 × 9%×$100×5%) ($1,350,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $698,650,000
Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders Calculation
Common Shares 1 January 2021 460 million
Purchased On March 1, 2021, (10/12×24,000,000) 20 million
Weighted Average Number of Common Stockholders 480 million
Diluted earnings per share = $698,650,000/ 500,000,000
= $1.40

What’s the disadvantage of the stock repurchases relative to the dividend payments? Stock repurchase can help avoiding setting a high dividend level that cannot be maintained. Firms may have to bid up stock price to complete repurchase, thus paying too much for its own stock. Stockholders may take stock repurchase as a positive signal – management thinks stock is undervaluated. Investors can receive income from lower-taxed capital gains rather than the higher-taxed dividends
Answer:
Firms may have to bid up stock price to complete repurchase, thus paying too much for its own stock.
Explanation:
Generally, the price of stocks are not fixed, so it might take a long time for a stock repurchase or buyback to be completed. Investors like buybacks since they tend to increase the price of stocks, but it makes them more expensive for the corporation to repurchase them.
Buybacks are seen positive by investors because they will eventually increase the earnings per share (by decreasing the number of shares outstanding) and they are also taxed in a lower rate than normal income. Management will tend to start buybacks when they believe the stock price is undervalued and they have excess cash. This way they will achieve achieve two objectives with one action:

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

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

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

Interest Expense=$2,990,000 x 3%=$89,700
There are two firms in an industry. The industry demand curve is given by p = 3,600 - 4q. Each firm has one manufacturing plant and each firm i has a cost function C(q_i) = q^2_i, where q_i is the output of firm i. The two firms form a cartel and arrange to split total industry profits equally.
Required:
a) Under this cartel arrangement, they will maximize joint profits if ___________.
Answer:
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.
Pete is a woodworker and charges $125 an hour for his time manufacturing custom-made wood products. For his wife's birthday, he designs and creates an intricate maple jewelry box that takes him 20 hours to complete. By how much and in what direction does GDP change as a result of his efforts? Group of answer choices GDP rises by $1,875. GDP falls by $1,875. GDP is not affected by Pete's production of the jewelry box. GDP rises by $125.
Answer:
GDP is not affected by Pete's production of the jewelry box.
Explanation:
Pete is a woodworker and works 20 hours to prepare a jewelry box to gift his wife. If Pete prepares this jewelry box to sell and earn revenue, this will be considered in GDP but in this case Pete prepares a jewelry box to give his wife as his wife's birthday gift.
All types of gifts received or given in kind are not included in Gross Domestic Production.
