GHI Corporation, a California corporation, has a six-person board. At a regular board meeting, only two directors attend. No notice was sent to any of the directors. The two attending call directors Alice and Bob and put them on a conference call. The four talk about the corporation buying Blackacre and then all agree to a resolution for GHI to buy Blackacre from Third Party. The Bylaws of GHI state that an action of the board requires the consent of a majority of the directors present at a meeting, and that a quorum is a majority of the authorized directors.
Select one:
a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.
b. the purchase is not authorized, since all real estate transactions require shareholder approval
c. the purchase is not authorized because prior written notice must be sent to each director
d. the purchase is not authorized because a quorum was not present at the board meeting
e. Two of the above are correct.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and a majority of those present approved the action.

Explanation:

going by the bye laws of GHI state, board action requires that majority of the members of the board are present and give consent in the meeting. here in this question, we have a 6 member board. Although only two of the board members are physically present, through conference call Alice and Bob increased the number to 2 when they joined in. Therefore the number of board members at this meeting is 4, then the requirement has been met. So since this 4 agreed to the purchase, it is authorized and valid since a quorum was present and a majority of them agreed to the action. option a is correct

Answer 2

The correct statement is a. the purchase is authorized because a quorum was present and, a majority of those present approved the action.

The quorum required by the Bylaws of GHI is for a majority of directors to be present, and in this case, four directors were present (two physically and two by conference call).

The Bylaws of GHI specify that every action of the directors should be supported by a majority present at a meeting. We can conclude that the purchase is authorized by the majority (100%).

Thus, the purchase of Blackacre by GHI is authorized.

The predicted manufacturing costs for each method are as follows: Capital Intensive Labor Intensive Direct materials per unit $ 10.00 $ 12.00 Direct labor per unit $ 4.00 $ 12.00 Variable manufacturing overhead per unit $ 5.00 $ 2.00 Fixed manufacturing overhead per year $ 1,800,000 $ 500,000 Sharpies market research department has recommended an introductory unit sales price of $100. The incremental selling costs are predicted to be $250,000 per year, plus $4 per unit sold. (a) Determine the annual break-even point in units if Sharpie uses the: Note: Round both answers UP to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer:

For Capital Incentive manufacturing method = 26,623 Units

For Labor Incentive manufacturing method = 10,714 Units

Explanation:

We are asked to find out the annual break - even point in units if Sharpie uses the Capital Intensive Method and Labour intensive Method.

Solution:

1. For Capital Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 10

Direct Labor  = 4

Variable MOH  = 5

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 23  

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 77

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 1800000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 2050000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 26623

2. For Labor Intensive Method:

Direct Materials = 12

Direct Labor  = 12

Variable MOH  = 2

Variable Selling =  4

Total Variable Cost = T = 30

Selling Price = P = 100

Contribution Margin = M = P-T = 70

Fixed Overhead:

Fixed MOH = 500000

Fixed Selling costs = 250000

Total Fixed Costs  = 750000

Break Even Point in Units = Total Fixed Cost / M  = 10714

B. Percentage change in quantity demanded given a percentage change in wealth.
C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.
D. Way in which consumers switch from one product to another when price rises.

Answers

Answer:

C. Responsiveness of quantity demanded to a percentage change in income.

Explanation:

Income elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of the quantity of a good demanded by an individual as his income changes, all other factors being constant.

Mathematically it is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in income.

Income elasticity is used to find out if a good is a necessity or a luxury good.

The demand for goods that are a necessity does not change with a change in income.

However demand for a luxury good increases as income increases and vice versa

Dianne Ruth withdrew $8,000 from her educational savings account and used $6,000 to pay for qualified higher education expenses. The remaining balance of $2,000 was used to purchase clothes. On the date of the distribution, her educational savings account had $25,000 balance including $20,000 she had contributed.
How much of the $8,000 is tax free?

Answers

Answer:

$7,600

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much of the $8,000 is tax free

Step 1 is to calculate the % using this formula

%=Savings ratio ROC Contributed/Total balance

Let plug in the formula

%=$20,000/$25,000

%= .80*100

%=80%

Step 2 is to calculate the ROC tax free using this formula

ROC tax free=% x Distribution

Let plug in the formula

ROC tax free=.80x 8000

ROC tax free=$6,400

Step 3 is to Contained earnings in distribution using this formula

Contained earnings in distribution=Distribution - ROC tax free

Let plug in the formula

Contained earnings in distribution=$8,000-$6,400

Contained earnings in distribution= $1,600

Step 4 is to calculate Excludable earning using this formula

Excludable earning=(Qualified exp/distribution ) x Earning contained

Let plug in the formula

Excludable earning=($6,000/$8,000) x $1,600

Excludable earning= $1,20/

Step 5 is to calculate the Taxable amount using this formula

Taxable =Earnings - Excludable

Let plug in the formula

Taxable=$1,600-$1,200

Taxable =$400

Now let determine the Tax free using this formula

Tax free = Distribution- Taxable

Let plug in the formula

Tax free=$8,000- $400

Tax free=$7,600

Therefore How much of the $8,000 is tax free will be $7,600

Mickley Company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate is $20.00 per direct labor-hour and its direct labor wage rate is $15.00 per hour. The following information pertains to Job A-500: Direct materials $ 280 Direct labor $ 150 Required: 1. What is the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job A-500? 2. If Job A-500 consists of 70 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1.

Total hours for job A - 500

= Direct labor ÷direct labor wage rate

= $150 ÷ $15

= 10

Total over head cost = overhead cost per labor hours × no. of labor hours

= $20 × 10

= $200

total manufacturing cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Total over head cost

= $280 + $150 + $200

= $630

2.  

Cost assigned to each unit

= total manufacturing cost ÷  number of units

= $630 ÷ 70

= $9

Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 50,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $225,000 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $238,100 and its actual total direct labor was 53,100 hours. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 44,850 Direct labor cost $ 28,200 Direct labor hours worked 200 Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1. The predetermined overhead rate is

= $0.50 + ($225,000 ÷ 50,000 direct labor hours)

= $.50 + $4.5

= $5

2. The total job cost is

= $44,850 + $28,200 + 200 × $5

= $44,850 + $28,200 + $1,000

= $74,050

So in this way these can be calculated

Explanation:

Missing word "What could be the net annual cost"

Monthly fee = $20

Interest rate = 4% = 0.04

Average monthly balance = $600

Required:
How much will he have to save every year if he starts saving at the end of this year?

Answers

Answer:

$1481.37

Explanation:

Annual savings = future value / annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

[(1.114)^3 - 1 ] / 0.114 = 3.3549996

$4,970 / 3.3549996 = $1481.37

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 8%. Now, with 7 years left until the maturity of the bonds, the company has run into hard times and the yield to maturity on the bonds has increased to 12%. What is the price of the bond now

Answers

Answer:

$814.10

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the price of the bond now

Using this formula

Bond price = PV of coupon payments + PV of face value

Bond price= C×((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]}) + FV / (1 + r)t

Let plug in the formula

Bond price= [(.080 ×$1,000) / 2] ×[[1 / (.12 / 2)] – (1 / {(.12 / 2)[1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)})] + $1,000 / [1 + (.12 / 2)](7 ×2)

Bond price= $814.10

Therefore the price of the bond now is $814.10

A bank has $132,000 in excess reserves and the required reserve ratio is 11 percent. This means the bank could have __________ in checkable deposit liabilities and __________ in (total) reserves. Group of answer choices $5,000,000; $5,869,000 $1,000,000; $110,000 $4,000,000; $590,000 $4,700,000; $869,000

Answers

Answer:

$14,520 in check-able deposit liabilities and $117,480 in total reserves.

Explanation:

The bank has $132,000 in excess reserves and excess reserves ratio is 11%. The bank will have total reserves of $132,000 * 89% = $117,480. The total liabilities will be equivalent to the excess reserves which is $14,520 [$132,000 - $117,480].

Corporate decision makers and analysts often use a particular technique, called a DuPont analysis, to better understand the factors that drive a companyâs financial performance, as reflected by its return on equity (ROE). By using the DuPont equation, which disaggregates the ROE into three components, analysts can see why a companyâs ROE may have changed for the better or worse, and identify particular company strengths and weaknesses. The DuPont Equation A DuPont analysis is conducted using the DuPont equation, which helps to identify and analyze three important factors that drive a companyâs ROE.

Required:
What factors directly affect a companyâs ROE?

Answers

Answer:

DuPont Equation

The three factors that directly affect a company's ROE (Return on Equity) are:

1. Profit margin

2. Total asset turnover

3. Equity multiplier

Explanation:

The profit margin measures the operating efficiency of the company with higher sales leading to higher profit margins.

The total asset turnover is a financial measure that divides turnover by the total assets.  It shows the efficiency achieved in the use of assets to generate sales revenue.

The equity multiplier measures the financial leverage of the company.  It shows how the use of debts increases the value of the company's equity.

1. Jupiter Explorers has $9,800 in sales. The profit margin is 5%. There are 4,500 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.90.
What is the price-earnings ratio?
2. A firm has a return on equity of 18%. The total asset turnover is 1.7 and the profit margin is 6%. The total equity is $7,200.
What is the amount of the net income?

Answers

Answer:

17.43

132.19

Explanation:

Net profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio. It measures he ability of a firm to earn a profit from its assets

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenue

0.05 = x / 9800

net income = 490

net income per share = 490 / 4500 = 0.109

p/e = 1.9 / 0.109 = 17.43

Using the Dupont formula, ROE can be determined using:

ROE = Net profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage

ROE = (Net income / Sales) x (Sales/Total Assets) x (total asset / common equity)
