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.
Answer:
$60.00
Explanation:
Calculation to estimate the stand-alone selling price
Hara Amount $ Note
Staff compensation $50.00
Mark up % 20%
Mark up amount $10.00
(20%*$50)
Standalone selling price of club fitting services $60.00
($50.00+$10.00)
Therefore the estimated stand-alone selling price will be $60.00

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?
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. Ignore the effects of income taxes.
Required:
a. Calculate the net income for 2021?
b. Which company will report the lowest amount of net income for 2021?
c. Calculate the book value on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet?
d. Which company will report the highest book value on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet?
e. Calculate the retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
f. Which company will report the highest amount of retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Answer:

2021:
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
Retained earnings $190,000 $190,000 $189,160
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

Cash flows from operations may not be sufficient for a firm to keep up with growth-related financing needs, or the firm may not be able to always generate enough cash flow to maintain a surplus of cash. Firms prefer to borrow now to fulfill their capital requirements through means of short-term financing or long-term financing. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
The following statement identifies a possible characteristic of short-term financing.
Consider this case:
Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.
a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
b. This statement is true and an advantage of short-term financing.
Firms use a variety of short-term financing sources to support working capital. Use the descriptions in the following table to identify the short-term financing source.
Description Short-Term Financing Source
A formal, committed line of credit extended by a bank or other lending institution.
An obligation backed by collateral, often inventories or accounts receivable.
Answer:
1. Consider this case:
Short-term loans usually have a lower cost than long-term loans. Identify whether the preceding statement is true or false.
a. This statement is false and a disadvantage of short-term financing.
2. Identify the short-term financing source:
An obligation backed by collateral, often inventories or accounts receivable.
Explanation:
Some organizations regularly require short-term financing to ease uneven cash flows. It is also called working capital financing. Its duration is less than 12 months, unlike long-term financing that can last more than two years. Most of this financing is arranged with banks in the form of bank overdraft.
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?
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.
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.

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
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.

Income from Tester Co. 40,000
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
Explanation:
Data:
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:
Dividends declared 10,000
Investment in Tester Co. 285,000
NCI in NA of Tester Co. 95,000
With these, the debit side and the credit side are made to be equal. Again, debiting and crediting the above accounts eliminate them from the combined or consolidated financial statements since they are reflected on opposite sides of the parent and subsidiary's financial statements.
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.
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
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?
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.
And, the same is to be considered
Connecting u dropped price in percentage is 22.2%
Midpoint formula:Given that;
Old price = $20
New price = $16
Find:
Connecting u dropped price in percentage
Computation:
[tex]Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{\frac{16+20}{2} }]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{-4}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=22.2[/tex]
Connecting u dropped price in percentage = 22.2%

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.
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

A University is offering a charitable gift program. A former student who is now 50 years old is consider the following offer: The student can invest $8,900.00 today and then will be paid a 9.00% APR return starting on his 65th birthday (i.e For a $10,000 investment, a 9% rate would mean $900 per year). The program will pay the cash flow for this investment while you are still alive. You anticipate living 21.00 more years after your 65th birthday. The former student wants a return of 6.00% on his investments, but would like to consider this opportunity.
Required:
Using the student's desired return, what is the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday?
Answer:
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.
Explanation:
Since the student's desired return of 6% will also start to be paid starting on his 65th birthday, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can be calculated by first calculating the value of the investment on the 65th birthday.
We therefore proceed with the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculation of the value of the investment on the 65th birthday
The value of the investment on the 65th birthday can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday =?
P = Annuity payment = Invested amount * Student's desired return = $8,900 * 6% = $534
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
n = number of more years anticipate to live after 65th birthday = 21
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
PV at 65 = $534 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.06))^21) / 0.06)
PV at 65 = $534 * 11.764076621288
PV at 65 = $6,282.02
Therefore, the value of the investment on the 65th birthday is $6,282.02.
Step 2: Calculation of the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday
The value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday can therefore be calculated using the simple present value for as follows:
PV at 50 = PV at 65 / (1 + r)^N …………………………….. (2)
Where;
PV at 50 = the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday = ?
PV at 65 = Present value of the annuity at 65th birthday = $6,282.02
r = Student's desired return rate = 6%, or 0.06
N = number of years from 50th birthday to 65th birthday = 65 - 50 = 15
Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / (1 + 0.06)^15
PV at 50 = $6,282.02 / 2.39655819309969
PV at 50 = $2,621.27
Therefore, the value of this deferred annuity today on his 50th birthday is $2,621.27.

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.)
At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset?
PV factors based on
Table or Calculator function: PVAD of $1
Lease Payment
n = 10
i = 12%
Right-of-use asset
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

Required:
a. Carl’s house payment is $1,640 per month and his car payment is $482 per month. If Carl's take-home pay is $3,250 per month, what percentage does Carl spend on his home and car?
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?
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%

d. E-mail can be an efficient way to communicate, and it makes communicating across time zones much easier.
Explanation
Sentence B is correct because it employs the use of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The use of the conjunction, however, helps to separate two sentences that have opposite connotations.
Sentence D is correct because the conjunction, and, was used appropriately to add a second thought to the sentence. The comma was also used correctly as it spliced the sentence and was immediately followed by the conjunction, and.
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?
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%
