Ortega Industries manufactures 15,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined to be as follows: Direct materials $ 150,000 Direct labor 240,000 Variable manufacturing overhead 90,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 120,000 Total $ 600,000 Assume Ortega Industries could avoid $40,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead if it purchases the component from an outside supplier. An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $34. If Ortega purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be a:
Answer:
Decrease by $30,000
Explanation:
Cost to buy = 15,000 * $34
Cost to buy = $510,000
Note: Since Ortega is buying 15000 units at $34, the $40,000 avoidable cost on fixed manufacturing overhead is non-applicable.
Cost of making = $150,000 + $240,000 + $90,000
Cost of making = $480,000
So, if Ortega purchases the component from the supplier instead of manufacturing it, the effect on income would be decrease by $30,000 ($510,000-$480,000).
AJ's Markets is being liquidated. The mortgage holder is owed $830,000, the other secured creditors are owed $128,000, and the unsecured creditors are owed $329,000. Administrative costs of liquidation, wage and benefit payments, and consumer claims amount to $330,000. The firm owes no taxes. The building, which is mortgaged, just netted $794,000 after sale costs. The remaining assets have yielded $467,000 in net proceeds. How much will the unsecured creditors receive per each dollar they are owed?
A. $.027
B. $.025
C. $.333
D. $1.00
E. $.533
Answer:
B. $.025
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much will the unsecured creditors receive per each dollar they are owed
First step is to determine the Mortgage unsecured
Mortgage unsecured = $830,000 -$794,000
Mortgage unsecured= $36,000
Second step is to calculate the Funds available after expenses
Funds available after expenses = $467,000 - $330,000
Funds available after expenses = $137,000
Third step is to calculate the Funds available after secured claims
Funds available after secured claims = $137,000 - $128,000
Funds available after secured claims= $9,000
Fourth step is to calculate the Total unsecured claims
Total unsecured claims = $36,000 + $329,000 Total unsecured claims = $365,000
Now let determine Percent unsecured claims paid
Percent unsecured claims paid = $9,000 / $365,000
Percent unsecured claims paid= .025*100
Percent unsecured claims paid=2.5%
Therefore the amount of that the unsecured creditors receive per each dollar they are owed will be $.025

A restaurant food chain has over 680 restaurants. All food orders for each restaurant are required to be input into an electronic device which records all food orders by food servers and transmits the order to the kitchen for preparation. All food servers are responsible for collecting cash for all their orders and must turn in cash at the end of their shift equal to the sales value of food ordered for their I.D. number. The manager then reconciles the cash received for the day with the computerized record of food orders generated. All differences are investigated immediately by the restaurant. Corporate headquarters has established monitoring controls to determine when an individual restaurant might not be recording all its revenue and transmitting the applicable cash to the corporate headquarters. Which one of the following would be the best example of a monitoring control?
A. All food orders must be entered on the computer, and segregation of duties is maintained between the food servers and the cooks.
B. Management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.
C. Cash is transmitted to corporate headquarters on a daily basis.
D. The restaurant manager reconciles the cash received with the food orders recorded on the computer.
Answer: Management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.
Explanation:
The best example of a monitoring control will be that the management prepares a detailed analysis of gross margin per store and investigates any store that shows a significantly lower gross margin.
The gross margin is regarded as the net sales revenue after the cost of goods sold has been deducted. In a situation where there's variation between the value, then it calls for check to ascertain if any fraudulent activity took place.

A general manager learns that the conflict has been going on for some time and was never fully addressed by the previous administration. Why was this issue avoided by previous administrators, according to Liddle
Answer: b. Lack of courage
Explanation:
I am unsure of the source of this question but the above should be the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because one can clearly see that an issue between two managers is no small issue if it is affecting the company.
Option C is also incorrect because an administration is in charge of the entire company and is capable of making these important decisions. The mere fact that the question asks why the previous administration did nothing points to the authority it had.
Option D is most likely incorrect because had there been a lot of issues, the question would have mentioned it.
This leaves option B which makes sense because regardless of the authority the administration had or the level by which the issue affected the company, if the admin had no courage, they would have done nothing.
. Use the following information to calculate the dollar cost of using a money market hedge for a 200,000 pounds of payables due in 180 days. Assume the firm has no excess cash. Assume the spot rate of the pound is $2.02, the 180-day forward rate is $2.00, the British borrowing/deposit interest rate is 5%, and the U.S. borrowing/deposit rate is 4% over the 180-day period. a. $391,210. b. $396,190. c. $388,210. d. $384,761. e. None of the above.
Answer:
$400,152.38
Explanation:
Number of days taken in a year = 360
Amount payable = Pounds 200,000
Funds required today = 200,000/(1+0.05*180/360)
Funds required today = 200,000/0.525
Funds required today = 380,952.38 Pounds
Cost of Dollar = 380,952.38*$2.02
Cost of Dollar = $769,523.81
So, the amount of dollar borrowed today is $769,523.81.
Payment of loan after 180 days = $769,523.81*(1+0.04*180/360)
Payment of loan after 180 days = $769,523.81*0.52
Payment of loan after 180 days = 400152.3812
Payment of loan after 180 days = $400,152.38

Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run
Answer:
• One firm to have left.
• At least one will be suffering.
Explanation:
There are four companies in this scenario which means that demand should at least be 4 times the production for all of them to sell.
With demand at only 2.5 times, at least one company will not be selling enough cars to survive in the industry so they will exist.
Another one will stay but will face tough times because a demand of 2.5 times production will not be enough to Carter or three companies.

A. fluctuates less than the labor force participation rate B. followed an upward trend before 2000 and then followed a downward trend C. increases during a recession and decreases during an expansion D. barely responded to the 2008-2009 recession"
Answer: B. followed an upward trend before 2000 and then followed a downward trend
Explanation:
Before the year 2000, there was an upward trend in the employment to population ratio as more Americans were hired per the population. After the year 2000 however, this has faced a downward trend.
There are several reasons for this. One of them was the shift to Asian economies in the early 2000s causing a lot of American companies to outsource. Then there was the 2008 Great Recession which caused high rates of unemployment. The Corona Pandemic led to more job loss and a lot of people became discouraged and stopped looking for work.

Answer:
arguing that universal health care should be adopted because overall costs are lower under that type of health care system
Explanation:
Normative economics is one that states what should be as opposed to what is obtainable. It is a prescriptive view of a situation involving investment projects, economic development, statements, and scenarios.
In the given instance the normative statement is: arguing that universal health care should be adopted because overall costs are lower under that type of health care system.
The view here is that the present cost in health care system is presently high.
To reduce the overall costs we should use universal health care as a way to reduce costs.
The economic order quantity (EOQ) of Dennis Co.’s only product is 100 units per month. When developing the budget for the next year, the CFO estimated that the annual demand for the product will increase by 3,000 units, but the cost per order and the carrying cost per inventory unit will remain unchanged at $30 and $15, respectively. What is the estimated annual demand for the next year?
Answer:
5,500 units
Explanation:
Use the economic order quantity (EOQ) formula to calculate the estimated annual demand
EOQ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H} }[/tex]
Where
EOQ = 100 units
S = Oerdering cost = $30
H = Carrying cost per unit = $15
D = Annua Demand = ?
Placing values in the formula
100 units = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2D (30) }{15} }[/tex]
Taking Square on both sides
[tex]100^{2}[/tex] = [tex](\sqrt{\frac{2D (30) }{15} })^{2}[/tex]
10,000 = [tex]\frac{2D (30) }{15} }[/tex]
10,000 = [tex]\frac{60D }{15} }[/tex]
10,000 = 4D
D = 10,000 / 4
D = 2,500 units
Now calculate the estimated annual demand
Estimated annual demand = Annual Demand + Expected Increase in next month = 2,500 units + 3,000 units = 5,500 units
