Answer: $2.28
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the actual price per pound of direct materials will be calculated as:
Material Price Variance = (14000)
Since material price valriance is the actual price deducted from the standard price for actual quantity that was used during production process. This will be:
(14000) = [(2 × 50000)] - [Actual Price × 50000]
(14000) = (100000) - (actual price × 50000)
(Actual Price × 50000) = 100000 + 14000
Actual Price × 50000) = 114000
Actual Price = 114000 / 50000
Actual price = 2.28
Cox, North, and Lee form a partnership. Cox contributes $183,000, North contributes $152,500, and Lee contributes $274,500. Their partnership agreement calls for the income or loss division to be based on the ratio of capital invested. If the partnership reports income of $172,000 for its first year, what amount of income is credited to Lee's capital account
Answer:
$77,400
Explanation:
Lee's ratio = $274,500 / ($183,000 + $152,500+ $274,500)
Lee's ratio = $274,500 / $610,000
Lee's ratio = 0.45
Lee's ratio = 45%
Lee's ratio = Lee's profit ratio
If the partnership reports income of $172,000.
Lee's income will be = 45%*$172,000 = $77,400
Thus, the amount of income to be credited to Lee's capital account is $77,400

If you contributed the full 6% of your $50,000 salary (the amount your company will match), what would be your monthly contribution to the 401(k)? What would be your employer’s contribution?
Answer:
Monthly contribution $6,000
Employers contribution $3,000
Explanation:
The employee contributions would be 6% of $50,000
=6/100 x $50,000
=0.06 x $50,000
=$3,000
If the employer matches the employee contribution, the employer will also contribute $3,000
The total employee monthly contribution would be $3000 + $3000= $6000
Employer contribution will $3000

Select the correct response below. Group of answer choices S. Korea has a comparative advantage in computer chip manufacturing. The U.S. has an absolute advantage in bed linen manufacturing. All of these are correct The U.S. has a comparative advantage in bed linen manufacturing. The U.S. has an absolute advantage in computer chips manufacturing.
Answer: All of these are correct
Explanation:
South Korea
Opportunity cost of Computer chips = 50/100 = 0.2 bed linens
Opportunity cost of bed linens = 100/50 = 2 computer chips
USA
Opportunity cost of Computer chips = 100/150 = 0.67 bed linens
Opportunity cost of bed linens = 150/100 = 1.5 computer chips
Country with Comparative advantage in the production of a good is one that incurs the lower opportunity cost.
Country with Absolute advantage is county that produces the most quantity of a good or service.
Therefore;
US has Absolute advantage in both Computer chips and Bed linens.
South Korea has comparative advantage in Computer chips.
US has comparative advantage in bed linen manufacturing.
If two identifiable markets differ with respect to their price elasticity of demand and resale is impossible, a firm with market power will Group of answer choices Set price equal to marginal cost in both markets. Set price so as to equate the elasticity of demand across markets. Set a higher price in the market that is more elastic. Set a lower price in the market that is more price elastic.
Answer: Set a lower price in the market that is more price elastic.
Explanation:
It would be in the best interest of the firm with market power to set a lower price if the market is more price elastic.
Price elasticity is the measure of how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price.
If the firm with market power sets a lower price in a market that is more price elastic, it can expect that the quantity demanded will increase more which can give a higher profit.

An overstatement of inventory account on the financial statements means that the __________ account on the financial statements is understated. g
Answer: Cost of Gods Sold
Explanation:
The Cost of Goods sold in the income statement is calculated thus;
= Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing stock
Looking at the formula above, one can see that closing stock reduces the Cost of Goods sold. If inventory is therefore overstated, it would reduce Cost of Goods sold more than it should which would result in the Cost of Goods sold being understated.

Explanation:
Suppose that you invest $100 today in a risk-free investment and let the 6 percent annual interest rate compound. What will be the value of your investment 6 years from now?
Solution :
It is given that :
Amount of investment or the principle amount , P = $ 100
Time of investment , t = 6 years
Rate of interest compounded annually r = 6 %
Therefore the future amount of this investment in a 6 year time is given by,
[tex]$FV=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t[/tex]
[tex]$FV=100(1+\frac{6}{100})^6[/tex]
[tex]$FV=100(1+0.06)^6[/tex]
[tex]$FV= 100 (1.4185)$[/tex]
[tex]$FV=141$[/tex]
Therefore, after 6 years the investment of $ 100 will give an amount of $ 141.

Marti received 11 NQOs (each option gives Marti the right to purchase 14 shares of stock for $10 per share) at the time Marti started working when the stock price was $7 per share. When the share price was $16 per share, Marti exercised all of her options. Eighteen months later she sold all of the shares for $21 per share. What is the amount of Marti's bargain element
Answer:
$924
Explanation:
Bargain element per share = Market price at exercise - Exercise price
Bargain element per share = $16 per share - $10 per share
Bargain element per share = $6 per share
Amount of bargain element = Bargain element per share * (Number of options * Number of shares per option)
Amount of bargain element = $6 per share * (11 options * 14 shares per option)
Amount of bargain element = $6 per share * 154 shares
Amount of bargain element = $924
So therefore, the amount of Marti's bargain element is $924
n the theory of perfect competition, the assumptions of many buyers and sellers, the production of a homogeneous product, and the possession of all relevant information by buyers and sellers imply that the perfectly competitive firm a. has a demand curve that is perfectly inelastic. b. has a demand curve that is perfectly elastic. c. sets the price it wishes. d. has a demand curve that is downward sloping
Answer:
b. has a demand curve that is perfectly elastic. c. sets the price it wishes
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is a measure of the degree of change in quantity demanded to changes in price.
For a perfectly elastic demand it means that an infinite quantity of a product will be required by consumers at a particular price. The perfectly elastic demand curve is usually horizontal.
In perfectly competitive markets elasticity of demand is perfectly elastic because there are many buyers and sellers, production of a homogeneous product, and the possession of all relevant information by buyers and sellers.
So prices between products tend to be the same

Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor cost. Job V, which was started and completed during the current period, shows charges of $5,000 for direct materials, $8,000 for direct labor, and $6,000 for overhead on its job cost sheet. Job W, which is still in process at year-end, shows charges of $2,500 for direct materials and $4,000 for direct labor.
Required:
Calculate the overhead cost be added to Job W at year-end
Answer:
$3,000
Explanation:
Predetermined Overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost / Allocation base
Predetermined Overhead rate = Total estimated overhead cost/Total estimated labor cost * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 6,000/8,000 * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 0.75 * 100
Predetermined Overhead rate = 75%
Overhead cost to be added to Job W at the year-end = Direct labor cost for Job W * Predetermined overhead rate = $4,000 * 75% = $3,000

Under IFRS, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are recorded under current liabilities on the Balance Sheet. However, under US GAAP, bank overdrafts are not treated as part of the cash and cash equivalents. This implies that under US GAAP, Yanita's cash and cash equivalents would be totaling $120,000.
18. A company's flexible budget for 12,000 units of production showed sales, $48,000; variable costs, $18,000; and fixed costs, $16,000. The sales expected if the company produces and sells 16,000 units is: a. $24,000. b. $18,000. c. $48,000. d. $40,000. e. $64,000.
Answer:
e. $64,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the sales expected in the case of 16,000 units
Sales on 16,000 units is
= Budgeted sales ÷ Budgeted volume × Actual volume
= $48,000 ÷ 12,000 units × 16,000 units
= $64,000
hence, the sales expected in the case of 16,000 units is $64,000
Therefore the correct option is e
Hence, the same is to be considered

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next nine years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth. The company will pay a dividend of $14 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 8 percent per year thereafter. If the required return on this stock is 14 percent, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
the current price of the stock is $71.75
Explanation:
The computation of the current stock price is shown below:
Price at year 9 is
= Dividend ÷ (required rate of return - growth rate)
= $14 ÷ (14 - 8%)
= $233.33
Now the current price of the stock is
= Price at year 9 ÷ (1 + required rate of return)^number of years
= $233.33 ÷ (1 + 0.14)^9
= $71.75
Hence, the current price of the stock is $71.75
Ruggles Circuit Company manufactures circuit boards for other firms. Management is attempting to search for ways to reduce manufacturing labor costs and has received a proposal from a consulting company to rearrange the production floor next year. Using the information below regarding current operations and the new proposal, which of the following decisions should management accept? Currently ProposedRequired machine operators 5 4.5Materials-handling workers 1.25 1.25Employee average pay $8 per hour $9 per hourHours worked per employee 2,100 2,000A) Do not change the production floor.B) Rearrange the production floor.C) Either, because it makes no difference to the employees.D) It doesn't matter because the costs incurred will remain the same.
Answer:
B) Rearrange the production floor.
Explanation:
First step is to calculate the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations and new proposal
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the Current operations
Current operations manufacturing labor costs =5 workers * 2,100 hours * $8.00
Current operations manufacturing labor costs = $84,000
Calculation for the manufacturing labor costs for the new proposal
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs=4.5 workers *2,000 hours * $9.00
New Proposal manufacturing labor costs = $81,000
Based on the above calculation the decisions that the management should accept is to REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR if they want to reduce the company manufacturing labor costs reason been that the manufacturing LABOR COSTS for the current operations is $84,000 which means it is higher than the manufacturing LABOR COST for the new proposal which is $81,000
Therefore the management should REARRANGE THE PRODUCTION FLOOR because with the new proposal manufacturing labor costs will reduce.

The last is the payment date when actual payment of the dividend is made to the investors through the issue of dividend warrants or certificates.
Assume that President Trump develops an executive agreement with Russia this month, which will reduce taxes on imports from the country as way to promote cordial international business interests. This executive agreement is directly in conflict with a foreign tax treaty issued by Congress in May of last year. Assuming the president has the power to develop this agreement what is the likely outcome? A. The congressional treaty is discriminatory on its face and will be deemed unconstitutional B. The President's order will supercede the congressional treaty C. The President's order is in direct conflict with Congress' enumerated powers to tax and therefore will be struck down D. The congressional treaty will be upheld
Answer:
C. The President's order is in direct conflict with Congress' enumerated powers to tax and therefore will be struck down
Explanation:
An executive agreement supersedes state's law, but it cannot supersede federal laws or treaties enacted by congress. The president does not need the senate's approval for an executive agreement, but it cannot go against a treaty that was established by congress. The foreign tax treaty that was approved by congress is legally binding.
A capital budgeting method that takes into consideration the time value of money is the cash payback technique. return on stockholders' equity method. internal rate of return method. annual rate of return method.
Answer:
Internal rate of return method
Explanation:
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
Accounting rate of return = Average net income / Average book value
Average book value = (cost of equipment - salvage value) / 2
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash.
Pfizer Inc., a pharmaceutical company, reported Net income for fiscal 2007 of $8,144 million, Retained earnings at the start of the year of $49,669 million and dividends of $8,153 million. If there were no other transactions during the year that affected retained earnings, what was the balance of retained earnings at the end of the year
Answer:
$49,660 million
Explanation:
The computation of retained earnings at the end of the year is shown below;
= Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends
Given that;
Beginning retained earnings = $49,669 million
Net income = $8,144million
Dividend = $8,153
Balance of retained earnings at the end of the year
= $49,669 + $8,144 - $8,153
= $49,660 million

Unitary cost= $84
Bob is angry at his company XYZ Corp. since his annual bonus was too small. Bob who has authority to sign checks on behalf of XYZ decides to get even by creating an employee, Steven Even. Bob writes a check to Steven on XYZ's checking account, signs it and then he indorses it with Steven's name and deposits it an account he has opened in Steven Even's name and the check clears. XYZ finds out and wants to hold the bank liable for paying the check since there was a forged indorsement. Which of the following is true? a) The bank needs to pay because when there is a forged indorsement, the first person to take the instrument with the forged indorsement is liable. b) The bank needs to pay because of the imposter rule. c) The bank only needs to pay if the check was for more than $500. d) The bank does not need to pay because of the fictitious payee rule.
Answer:
d) The bank does not need to pay because of the fictitious payee rule.
Explanation:
Here, the instrument is issued to a payee who has no interest in instrument and thus it is referred as fictitious payee. According to UCC's fictitious payee rule, the indorsement to fictitious payee is not considered forgery. In this case, the maker or drawer of instrument is liable for it. The drawer bank and collecting bank both are not liable for it.
