Triec, Inc., is a small electrical contracting company in Springfield, Ohio, owned by its executives Yeazell, Jones, and Heaton. Employees contacted the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which began an organizing drive, and 6 of the 11 employees in the bargaining unit signed authorization cards. The company declined to recognize the union, which petitioned the NLRB to schedule an election. The company then granted several new benefits for all workers, including higher wages, paid vacations, and other measures. When the election was held, only 2 of the 11 bargaining unit members voted for the union. Did the company violate the NLRA?

Answers

Answer:

Triec, inc., violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) because it directly interfered with the organization of a union within the company.

The NLRA allows private employees to join or form a union, and the company cannot interfere in any of these. E.g. a company cannot fire or punish in any way an employee for joining a union. A company cannot interfere with the creation of a union.

In this case, the company granted the new benefits in order to convince its workers to not form the union.

At the beginning of the year, Monroe Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $500,000 and that 250,000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 150,000 hours is A.$500,000. B.$300,000. C.$600,000. D.$150,000.

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $300,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated annual overhead costs= $500,000

Estimated machine-hour= 250,000

Actual machine-hour= 150,000

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 500,000/250,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 2*150,000= $300,000

O’Hara Associates sells golf clubs, and with each sale of a full set of clubs provides complementary club-fitting services. A full set of clubs with the fitting services sells for $1,400. O’Hara estimates that it incurs $50 of staff compensation and other costs to provide the fitting services, and normally earns 20% over cost on similar services. Assuming that the golf clubs and the club-fitting services are separate performance obligations, estimate the stand-alone selling price of the club-fitting services using the expected cost plus margin approach.

Porter theorizes that the four attributes in his diamond model may promote or impede the creation of competitive advantage. Factor endowments are a nation's position in factors of production such as skilled labor or infrastructure necessary to compete in a given industry. Demand conditions are the nature of home demand for the industry's product or service. Related and supporting industries are the presence or absence of supplier industries and related industries that are internationally competitive. Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry are the conditions governing how companies are created, organized, and managed and the nature of domestic rivalry.

Required:
What is the most appropriate attribute of national competive advaritage from Porter's theory?

Answers

Explanation:

The most appropriate attribute of the national competitive advantage of Porter's theory is factor endowments.

This attribute corresponds to the one that can most significantly impact the competitive position that a company will have in the market, as it refers to the conditions that a company will have to develop its essential factors such as labor, technology, capital, etc., these factors being totally influenced by the local economy and its favorable conditions for the flow of business.

For this reason, it is necessary to have government incentives for public and private companies through the development of economic policies that favor the competitiveness of companies and the improvement of their factors, increasing their quality and efficiency.

Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $76,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $6,000. All three trucks were driven 81,000 miles in 2018, 55,000 miles in 2019, 46,000 miles in 2020, and 71,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $65,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions.

f) Companies A and B will report the highest amount of retained earnings because C's units of production did not tally to 250,000.

Explanation:

Cost of Truck = $76,000

Lifespan = 4 years or 250,000 miles

Salvage value = $6,000

Depreciable amount = $70,000 ($76,000 - $6,000)

Straight-line rate = $17,500 ($70,000/4) or 25% (100/4) per year

Double-declining balance rate = 50% (100/4 * 2) on the book balance

Units of production  rate = $0.28 ($70,000/250,000) per unit

On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 10% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $90,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $5,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $4,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Right-of-use asset

Answers

Answer:

$574,517

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount that Jasperse will record a right-of-use asset

Annual payments = $90,000

Annual maintenance = $5,000 per year

Rate of interest = 10%

Period, n = 10 years

Right of use asset =(90,000 – 5,000) x PVAD, 10%, 10

Right of use asset= 85,000 ×6.75902

Right of use asset= $574,517

Therefore Right-of-use asset will be $574,517

Ken is 63 years old and unmarried. He retired at age 55 when he sold his business, Understock.com. Though Ken is retired, he is still very active. Ken reported the following financial information this year. Assume Ken files as a single taxpayer.
a. Ken won $1,200 in an illegal game of poker (the game was played in Utah, where gambling is illegal).
b. Ken sold 1,000 shares of stock for $32 a share. He inherited the stock two years ago. His tax basis (or investment) in the stock was $31 per share.
c. Ken received $25,000 from an annuity he purchased eight years ago. He purchased the annuity, to be paid annually for 20 years, for $210,000.
d. Ken received $13,000 in disability benefits for the year. He purchased the disability insurance policy last year.
e. Ken decided to go back to school to learn about European history. He received a $500 cash scholarship to attend. He used $300 to pay for his books and tuition, and he applied the rest toward his new car payment.
f. Ken's son, Mike, instructed his employer to make half of his final paycheck of the year payable to Ken. Ken received the check on December 30 in the amount of $1,100.
g. Ken received a $610 refund of the $3,600 in state income taxes his employer withheld from his pay last year. Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deductions last year (the standard deduction for a single filer was $6,200).
h. Ken received $30,000 of interest from corporate bonds and money market accounts.
Determine Ken's gross income

Answers

Answer: $‭46,950‬

Explanation:

a. All sources of income should be included including illegal ones.

b. Gain = 1,000 (32 - 31)

= $1,000

c. Gain = Amount received - Amount paid apportioned per year

=  25,000 - (210,000/20)

= 25,000 - 10,500

= $14,500

d. Not included as disability benefits are not included.

e. The $300 is deductible but the $200 that went towards car payment is not.

f. Taxation principles require that the person taxed should be the person earning the income so Ken will not be charged on the $1,100

g. The relevant figure here is the tax benefit before the $610 refund.

Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deduction but the standard deduction is $6,200. Ken gained;

= 6,250 - 6,2000

= $50

h. The $30,000 is included as Ken earned it.

Gross Income = 1,200 + 1,000 + 14,500 + 200 + 50 + 30,000

= $‭46,950‬

Kim is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living at home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $1,760 per month. Her employer deducts $199 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $189 on several credit card debts each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $172 per month. Help Kim make her decision by calculating her debt payments-to-income ratio with and without the college loan.

b. Suppose that your monthly net income is $2,850. Your monthly debt payments include your student loan payment and a gas credit card. They total $1,140. What is your debt payments-to-income ratio?

Answers

Answer:

1. Kim:

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= 23%

2. Carl:

Percentage spent on home and car

= 65.3%

3. Debt payment to income ratio

= 40%

Explanation:

Kim's Data and Calculations:

Gross income = $1,760

Income taxes         -199

After Tax Income $1,561 per month

Credit card debts = $189 per month

School loan = $172 per month

Total Debt payments = $361

Debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan

= $361/$1,561 = 23%

Carl:

House payment = $1,640

Car payment = $482

Total payments = $2,122

Take-home pay = $3,250

Percentage spent on home and car = 65.3% ($2,122/$3,250 * 100)

3. My monthly net income = $2,850

Monthly debt payments = $1,140

Debt payment to income ratio

= $1,140/$2,850 * 100

= 0.4

= 40%

. better response rate

. flexibility on the side of interviewer

disadvantage

time consuming

provides less anonymity

costly

it could be biased

For a program to be successful, readiness for training should be assessed on two dimensions: employee characteristics and work environment. The employee characteristics that are relevant to training are the ability to learn the subject matter, attitudes toward training, and motivation to learn. Even if these are present, however, training will not be effective unless there is a positive work environment—an environment that encourages learning and eliminates obstacles for trainee success.

An important characteristic of employee readiness is having basic learning skills, especially cognitive ability that includes using written and spoken language, solving math problems, and using logic to solve problems. If employees lack certain basic skills, they may have to attend some remedial classes before participating in job-related training. Seeing potential benefits from training programs may increase employee motivation to participate. Readiness for training also depends on work environment characteristics called situational constraints and social support. Constraints can include the limits of training's effectiveness from within the organization, such as lack of money or lack of time for training and practicing. Social support refers to the ways that the organization encourages training by expressing positive attitudes toward its training programs. The goal of this activity is to evaluate employee readiness for training.

Read each statement, then select the appropriate category

1. When new employees arrive on the sales floor after training at Hamilton Department Store, experienced employees have a tendency. Forget what you learned. This is how we really do it.
2. Time and again, Brooke's employees complained that the statistical quality control training was too difficult to be useful.
3. As much as she would like to. Elizabeth really doesn't think top management is going to allocate enough money to train everyone on the new software this year.
4. Although Jane really wanted to participate in the diversity training program, she knew it was impossible to get away from the office for three days in order to participate.
5. Ed was excited to hear about the new technical training program, but disappointed when he heard his boss say that he really didn't think the training was the time and effort

a. Social Support
b. Situational Constraints
c. Employee Readiness

Answers

Answer:

1.

by asking new employees to unlearn the theories they have so that they can learn on the job, these experienced employees are getting the new ones ready to start applying concepts. this shows social support from the old employees to the new ones

2.

these complaints by Brooke's employees shows employee readiness because the complaints are basically about not being able to find their way around around the training since they say it is too difficult.

3.

this is situational constraints as the question implies a constraint in funds available to train all employees on the new software. and it is causing an issue In getting all employees trained.

4.

this is situational constraint and time is the constraint. elizabeth though ready does not have the time for the training.

5. this is social support. ed's manager has caused him to reevaluate on this training because in his opinion it would be like a waste of time and effort.

connecting u dropped its price from $20 to $16 per gigabyte of data. Joe according to the midpoint formula, Connecting U reduced its price by what percentage?

Answers

Answer:

-$22.2

Explanation:

The computation of price by percentage is shown below:-

Price by percentage = (End price - Beginning price) ÷ (End price - Beginning price) ÷ 2 × 100

= ($16 - $20) ÷ ($16 - $20) ÷ 2 × 100

= -$4 ÷ $18 × 100

= -$400 ÷ $18

= -$22.2

So, we have applied the above formula.

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?

Answers

Answer:

1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary

Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600

Amount required to fund the plan = $4800

2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees

Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200

Amount contributed by each employee = $24

3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary

Percentage of salary = 24/600

Percentage of salary =  0.04

Percentage of salary = 4%

Lipscomb Corporation is estimating its WACC. Its target capital structure is 20 percent debt, 20 percent preferred stock, and 60 percent common equity. Its bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 20 years, and sell for 1,000 USD. The firm could sell, at par, 100 USD preferred stock which pays a 12 percent annual dividend, but flotation costs of 5 percent would be incurred. Libscomb is a constant-growth firm which just paid a dividend of $2.00, sells for 27.00 USD per share, and has a growth rate of 8 percent. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40.

Required:
a. What is Rollins' cost of common stock using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach?
b. What is Rollins' WACC?

Answers

Answer:

a. 16%

b.  13.566%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital is the rate that a company is expected to pay on average to all its security holders to finance its assets. The WACC is commonly referred to as the firm's cost of capital.

DATA

P is price = 27

G is growth = 8%

Tax rate = 40%

Requirement a.

When the market rate of bond is equal to par value then yield is equal to the coupon rate

Tax rate = 12(1-0.4) = 7.2%

Cost of preferred stock = dividend/price

There will be a 5% floatation cost so net proceeds is 95

Cost of preferred stock = 12/95 = 12.63%

Cost of equity = D1/P + g

Where D1 is dividend for year 1 = 2+8% = 2.16

Cost of equity = 2.16/27 + 0.08

Cost of equity = 16%

Requirement  b

Wacc = 7.2×20% + 12.63×20% + 16×60%

Wacc = 13.566%

Carmel Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine costing $38,000 with a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Carmel uses straight-line depreciation and assumes that the annual cash inflow from the machine will be received uniformly throughout each year. In calculating the accounting rate of return, what is Carmel's average investment?

Answers

Answer:

$19,000

Explanation

Calculation for Carmel's average investment

Using this formula

Average investment=Investment/2

Let plug in the formula

Average investment=($38,000 + $0)/2

Average investment=$19,000

Therefore Carmel's average investment will be $19,000

Pitt Enterprises manufactures jeans. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the manufacturing process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the manufacturing process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. Information for the Cutting Department for the month of May follows.

Work in Process, May 1 (54,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials, 35% complete with respect to conversion costs; includes $78,500 of direct material cost; $42,050 of conversion costs).

Units started in May 233,000
Units completed in May 208,000

Work in Process, May 31 (79,000 units, 100% complete for direct materials; 15% complete for conversion costs).

Costs incurred in May

Direct materials $391,440
Conversion costs $401,900

Required:
If Pitt Enterprises uses the FIFO method of process costing, compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs respectively for May.

Answers

Answer:

cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37  and conversion costs = $1.78.

Explanation:

Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method

Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Raw Materials

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%)                         0

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%)                                      79,000

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials           258,000

1. Conversion Cost

To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%)                   35,100

Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%)                  179,000

Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%)                                          11,850

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion       225,950

Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.

Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production

1. Raw Materials

Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000

                = $1.37

2. Conversion Cost

Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950

                = $1.78

An internal control system consists of the policies and procedures managers use to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and uphold company policies.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.

The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .

Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.

a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.

Answers

Answer:

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using  this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.

However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.

This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.

b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.

This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.

A is the only correct answer.  With it, the following accounts are debited:

Common Stock 200,000

Retained Earnings 150,000

Income from Tester Co. 40,000

And these accounts are credited:
