Answer: Providing members of the organization with detailed information and instructions to prepare them to perform their specific duties securely
Explanation:
Protection of data in organizations is important as it helps in the safeguarding of vital data from third parties and prevention of fraud.
Therefore, in order to tackle security issues in an organization, it is essential to provide all the members of the organization with detailed information and instructions about how they can perform their specific duties securely.
This can be done through establishing face to face training, computer based training, and every other forms of training in order to secure data.
Denison Specialty Hospital is planning its master budget for the coming year. The budget wil include operating, capital, cash and flexible budgets. The hospital is noted for its three fine programs: oncology (cancer), cardiac (heart), and rhinoplasty (nose jobs).
Section A
The managers at Denison have been busy working. They have reviewed past records and considered changes in competition, the general economy, and overall medical trends. Using past charges and anticipated rates of medical inflation, they have also made a first attempt at setting thier prices.
Based on a thorough review and discussion of these data, they have projected that next year they will have 240 patients. They expect 120 oncology patients, 80 caridace patients, and 40 rhinoplasty patients.
The charge, of list price, for oncology patient will average $50,000. Cardiac patients will be charged on average of $40,000, and rhinoplasty, $25,000 per patient. However, those charges are not the actual amounts ultimately received.
The amount the hospital receives depends on whether patients pay their own hospital bills or have healthcare insurance. Assume that private insurance companies pay the full charge or list price. However, Medicare and Medicaid have announced rates they will pay for the coming year as follow: oncology patients $40,000, cardiac patients $30,000, and rhinoplasty patients $10,000. Self-pay patients are supposed to pay the full charge, but generally 25 percent of self-pay charges become a bad credit. Note that bad credit are treated as an expense in healthcare. They may not be shown as a reduction lowering revenues. The full charge for self-pay patients is shown as revenues, and then the uncollectible amount is shown as an expense. No payment for charity care is ever recieved, and charity care is not shown s a revenue or expense.
The payer mix is as follows:
Private insurance Medicare/Medicaid Self-Pay Charity
Oncology 30% 50% 10% 10%
Cardiac 20% 60% 10% 10%
Rhinoplasty 10% 20% 60% 10%
Gift shop revenue is projected to be $120,000 for the current year and is expected to remain the same. However, this revenue will increase or decline in proportion to charges in patient volume.
Denison Hospital has an endowment of $1,000,000. It is invested as follows:
a-$500,000 in 6 percent U.S. Governement Bonds that pay interest annually
b-$250,000 in AT&T stock, which pays a dividend of 8 percent annually
c-$250,000 in growth stocks that pay no dividend
Section A requirements:
1. Calculate patient revenue on an accural basis for the coming year. Subdivide revenue by program, and with each program subdivide it by type of payer.
2. Calculate endowment revenue on an accural basis for the coming year.
3. Prepare a revenue budget on an accural basis, including all sources of revenue discussed previously. The revenue budget does not have to show all of the detail from requirements 1 and 2, but should show each major source of revenue, such as patient services and endowment.
Section B
The hospital expects to employ worker in the following departments
Radiology Nursing Administration Total
Managers 100,000 200,000 200,000 500,000
Staff 1,900,000 4,200,000 300,000 6,400,000
Total 2,000,000 4,400,000 500,000 6,900,000
Supplies are expected to be purchased throughout the year for the departments, as follows:
Total
Radiology 360,000
Nursing 160,000
Administration 20,000
Total 540,000
Assume that all supply use varies with the number of patients.
Denison Hospital currently pays rent on its building and equipment for $300,000 per year. Rent is expected to be unchanged next year. The rent is paid $75,000 each quarter.
To better serve its patients, Denison would like to buy $500,000 of new oncology equipment at the start of the year. It would be paid for immediately upon purchase. The equipment has a 5-year life and would be expected to be used up evenly over that lifetime. Although the capital budget would normally include justification for why the equipment is needed, it is sufficient for our purpose to know that the capital budget for Denison is $500,000 and the equipment to be purchased has 5-year useful life. It will have no value left at the end of the 5 years. Denison charges the cost of its capital acquisitions on a straight-line depreciation basis. The means that the cost is spread out over the useful life, with an equal being charged as an expense, called depreciation expense, each year.
Section B Requirements:
1. Calculate expected bad debt expenses on an accural basis for the coming year
2. Calculate an expense budget on a accural basis for the coming year. The expense budget does not require detailed information by program or department, but should show each type of expense as salaries and supplies. Be sure to consider the impact of capital acquisitions on the expense budget.
3. Combine the revenue (section A) and expense budget to present an operating budget for the coming year.
Answer:
Section A:-
1) Total Patient Revenue = 7980000.
2) Endowment Revenue:-
Investment = $1000000.
Income = $ 50000.
3) Revenue Budget on Accrual Basis for Next year= $ 8150000.
Section B:
1) Calculation of Expected Bad Debts for Coming Year= $ 380000
2) Expense Budget for Coming Year = $ 8220000.
3) Operating Budget For coming Year:-
Total Budget Revenue = $ 8150000.
Total Budget Expense = $8220000.
Excess Over Revenue = $ 70000.

The December 31, 2009, balance sheet of Anna’s Tennis Shop, Inc., showed current assets of $2,584 and current liabilities of $1,191. The December 31, 2010, balance sheet showed current assets of $2,644 and current liabilities of $1,048. What was the company’s 2010 change in net working capital, or NWC?
Answer: ($203)
Explanation:
The company’s 2010 change in net working capital will be calculated thus:
Net working capital = current assets - current liabilities
For 2009, net working capital will be:
= $2,584 - $1,191
= $1393.
For 2010, net working capital will be:
= $2,644 - $1,048
= $1596
Change in net working capital will be:
= $1393 - $1596
= ($203)

Aaron is considering an investment that will pay $7,500 a year for five years, starting one year from today. This is an example of: a. a set of unequal cash flows.
b. an ordinary annuity.
c. a perpetuity.
d. an annuity due.
Answer:
This is an example of a
b. an ordinary annuity.
Explanation:
Aaron's cash inflows of $7,500, which he receives at the end of the year, is an ordinary annuity because it comprises a series of equal payments receipts received over a fixed length of time, and it occurs at the end of the year. If Aaron receives the series of payments at the beginning of each period and not at the end, it will be described as an annuity due. If Aaron receives the series of payment indefinitely, it is called a perpetuity.
The following information was available for the year ended December 31, 2016:
Earnings before interest and taxes (operating income) $ 81,000
Interest expense 17,000 Income tax expense 22,000
Net income 42,000
Total assets at year-end 270,000
Total liabilities at year-end 148,000
Required:
a. Calculate the debt ratio at December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
b. Calculate the debt/equity ratio at December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
c. Calculate the times interest earned for the year ended December 31, 2016. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer and Explanation:
The calculation is given below:
a. The debt ratio is
= Total liabilities ÷ total assets
= $148,000 ÷ $270,000
= 0.5 times
b. The debt/equity ratio is
= Debt ÷ equity
= $148,000 ÷ ($270,000 - $148,000)
= $148,000 ÷ $122,000
= 1.21 times
c. The times interest earned ratio is
= earning before interest and taxes ÷ interest expense
= $81,000 ÷ $17,000
= 4.76 times

May 9: Received cash for meals served to customers, $2,520
May 14: Paid cash for kitchen equipment, $3,770
May 23: Served a banquet on account, $1,900
May 31: Made the adjusting entry for rent (from May 1).
May 31: Accrued salary expense, $2,290
May 31: Recorded depreciation for May on kitchen equipment, $560 If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May?
Answer:
1. Cash Basis $790
Accrual basis $263
2. Cash method $(3,440)
Accrual method $780
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine how much advertising expense would they have recorded for the two months ending February 28
UNDER THE CASH BASIS, the Law Firm will record $790 of advertising expense for the two months ending February 28.
UNDER THE ACCRUAL BASIS, the Law Firm will record $263 ($790/6*2) of advertising expense for the two months ending February 28.
Therefore the amount of advertising expense l would they have recorded for the two months ending February 28 is:
Cash Basis $790
Accrual basis $263
2a. Calculation to determine how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method
Using this formula
Net income (loss) using cash method = Meals served to customer – Rent paid – Electricity bill – Cash paid for kitchen equipment
Let plug in the formula
Net income (loss) using cash method= $2,520 -$2,100-$90-$3,770
Net income (loss) using cash method= $(3,440)
Therefore If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Cash method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May is $(3,440)
2b. Calculation to determine how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method
Using this formula
Net income (loss) using accrual method = Meals served to customer+ Served a banquet on account – Rent expense – Electricity bill – Salary expense – Depreciation
Let plug in the formula
Net income (loss) using accrual method= $2,520+$1,900-($2,100/3)-$90-$2,290-$560
Net income (loss) using accrual method=$2,520+$1,900-$700-$90-$2,290-$560
Net income (loss) using accrual method=$780
Therefore If Sweet Catering had recorded transactions using the Accrual method, how much net income (loss) would they have recorded for the month of May is $780
A company enters a futures contract to sell 50,000 units of a commodity for 70 cents per unit. The initial margin is $4,000 and the maintenance margin is $3,000. What change in the futures price (per unit) would lead to a margin call?
Answer:
72 cents
Explanation:
There is going to be a margin call when greater than 1000 dollars has been lost from the margin. Then the balance in the account is going to be smaller than that of the maintenance margin. so 1 cent increase in the price would bring about a lossof
0.01 * 50000
= $500
if the increase in the future price is about 2 cents then there would be a margin call.
70+2 = 72cents, this is when there would be a margin call
20. WACC and NPV [LO3, 5] Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result
in initial aftertax cash savings of $2.3 million at the end of the first year, and these
savings will grow at a rate of 2 percent per year indefinitely. The firm has a target
4.6 percent. The cost-saving proposal is somewhat riskier than the usual project the
firm undertakes; management uses the subjective approach and applies an adjustment factor of +3 percent to the cost of capital for such risky projects. Under what
circumstances should the company take on the project?
Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces and sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. Should the company accept the special order?
A. No, because additional production would exceed capacity.
B. No, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenue.
C. No because incrementa conse o Yes, because incremental revenue exceeds incremental costs.
D. Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
E. No, because the incremental revenue is too low.
Answer:
D. Yes, because incremental costs exceed incremental revenues.
Explanation:
Given that
The Selling price of the order is $5
The Variable cost of manufacturing is $3
The Contribution per unit is $2
The Number of units is 1500
now
Total contribution
= 1500 × $2
= $3,000
Less: Machine costs ($1000)
Tota incremental revenue $2,000
As the incremental revenue is positive and exceeds the incremental cost so the special order can be accepted
Fort Thomas Living is a small publishing company located in the Northern Kentucky. Recently, Fort Thomas Living has contracted with several different local writers to publish various magazines and short-story books. Once such transaction involves an exchange of $10,200. Another transaction involves an exchange of $9,600? Are both of these exchanges of money subject to the disclosure requirements of the Money Laundering Control Act?
Answer: No
Explanation:
The Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 which was passed to curb the effects of large scale money laundering at the federal level, only requires that transactions above $10,000 be disclosed.
There is a transaction here that is only to the tune of $9,600 so this will not be disclosed as it is less than the $10,000 threshold. The other transaction of $10,200 will however, be disclosed.

Petro Motors Inc. (PMI) produces small gasoline-powered motors for use in lawn mowers. The company has been growing steadily over the past five years and is operating at full capacity. PMI recently completed the addition of new plant and equipment at a cost of $7.800.000, thereby increasing its manufacturing capacity to 100.000 motors annually. The addition to plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Sales of motors were 60.000 units prior to the completion of the additional capacity. Cost records indicated that manufacturing costs had totaled $60 per motor, of which $48 per motor was considered to be variable manufacturing costs. PMI has used the volume of activity at full capacity as the basis for applying fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price is $80 per motor, and PMI pays a 5% commission on the sale of its motors. LawnPro.com offered to purchase 35,000 motors at a price of $60 per unit to test the viability of distributing lawn mower replacement motors through its website. PMI would be expected to produce the motors, store them in its warehouse, and ship individual motors to LawnPro.com customers. As orders are placed directly through the LawnPro.com website, they would be forwarded instantly to PMI. No commissions will be paid on this special sales order, and freight charges will be paid by the customer purchasing a motor.

The hyrbrid automobile grew out of automobile designers' realization that there were changes in the legal environment regarding automobile emissions to which they need not comply.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Hybrid cars use both electricity and gasoline motors and engines. The concept behind this is that the electricity gives the car better acceleration and the gasoline then maintains it.
Developed countries tax gasoline due to its emissions but don't really tax electricity. On realizing this, designers recognized that they could combine both gasoline and electricity to create hybrids that would decrease the cost of taxation of using gasoline.
Purple Hedgehog Forestry Inc. is expected to generate $200,000,000 in net income over the next year. Purple Hedgehog Forestry has forecasted a capital budget of $85,000,000, and it wishes to maintain its current capital structure of 70% debt and 30% equity.
Required:
What will Purple Hedgehog Forestry's dividend payout ratio be if it follows a residual dividend policy?
Answer:
87.25%
Explanation:l
Capital Budget = $85,000,000
Financed through Equity = $25,500,000 (30%*$85,000,000)
Residual Earnings = Expected net income - Financed through Equity
Residual Earnings = $200,000,000 - $25,500,000
Residual Earnings = $174,500,000
Dividend Payout Ratio = Residual Earnings / Expected net income
Dividend Payout Ratio = $174,500,000 / $200,000,000
Dividend Payout Ratio = 0.8725
Dividend Payout Ratio = 87.25%

Five years ago, when the relevant cost index was 120, a nuclear centrifuge cost $40,000. The centrifuge had a capacity of separating 1500 gallons of ionized solution per hour. Today, it is desired to build a new centrifuge with capacity of 4500 gallons per hour, but the cost index now is 300. Assuming a power sizing exponent to reflect economies of scale, x, of 0.75, use the power sizing model to determine the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor.
Answer:
The approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / Cost of centrifuge with 1500 capacities 5 years ago = (Capacity of centrifuge with 4500 capacities / Capacity of centrifuge with 1500 capacities)^Power sizing exponent
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacity 5 years ago / $40,000 = (4500 / 1500)^0.75
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago / $40,000 = 2.27950705695478
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = 2.27950705695478 * $40,000 = $91,180.28
Therefore, we have:
Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities now = (Cost index now / Cost index 5 years ago) * Cost of centrifuge with 4500 capacities 5 years ago = (300 / 120) * $91,180.28 = $227,950.71
Therefore, the approximate cost (expressed in today's dollars) of the new reactor is $227,950.71.

James Perkins wants to have a million dollars at retirement, which is 15 years away. He already has $200,000 in an IRA earning 8 percent annually. How much does he need to save each year, beginning at the end of this year, to reach his target
Solution :
Given :
James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.
His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.
Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = [tex]2000000 \times( 1.08)^{15}[/tex]
= $ 634,434.
Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434
= $ 365,566
Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :
[tex]FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}][/tex]
Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566
A = periodical investment
k = interest rate = 8%
n = period = 15 years
∴[tex]365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}[/tex]
A = 13,464
Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.
For the year, Logitom planned to sell 1,104,000 units at a $39 selling price. The marketing manager was asked to explain why budgeted revenue had not been achieved for that year. Investigation revealed the following information:
Actual sales volume 1,135,200 units
Actual selling price $38 per unit
Calculate the sales price variance, the sale volume variance, and the total revenue variance.
Answer:
Sales price variance = Actual quantity sold * (Actual price - Budgeted selling price)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * ($38 - $39)
Sales price variance = 1,135,200 * $1
Sales price variance = $1,135,200 Unfavorable
Sales volume variance = Budgeted selling price * (Actual quantity - Budgeted quantity)
Sales volume variance = $39 * (1,135,200 - 1,104,000)
Sales volume variance = $39 * 31,200
Sales volume variance = $1,216,800 Favorable
Total revenue variance = (Actual quantity * Actual price) - (Budgeted quantity * Budgeted price)
Total revenue variance = (1,135,200 * $38) - (1,104,000 * $39)
Total revenue variance = $43,137,600 - $43,056,000
Total revenue variance = $81,600 Favorable

On June 30, Sharper Corporation’s stockholders’ equity section of its balance sheet appears as follows before any stock dividend or split. Sharper declares and immediately distributes a 50% stock dividend. Common stock—$10 par value, 120,000 shares authorized, 50,000 shares issued and outstanding $ 500,000 Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 200,000 Retained earnings 660,000 Total stockholders’ equity $ 1,360,000 Assume that instead of distributing a stock dividend, Sharper did a 3-for-1 stock split. Required: (1) Prepare the updated stockholders' equity section after the split. (2) Compute the number of shares outstanding after the split.
Answer:
(1) See below for the updated stockholders' equity section after the split.
(2) Number of shares outstanding after the split = 150,000
Explanation:
(1) Prepare the updated stockholders' equity section after the split.
A stock split occurs when a company's board of directors decides to raise the number of outstanding shares by issuing additional shares to present shareholders. With stock split, no fund will be generated but common stock par value will fall after the split to make the Common stock total value and Common stock paid-in capital in excess of par value to remain the same. Therefore, the updated stockholders' equity section after the split will be as follows:
Sharper Corporation
Stockholders’ Equity Section of the Balance Sheet
Jun 30
Details Amount ($)
Common stock - $3.3333 par value, 120,000 shares
authorized, 150,000 shares issued and outstanding 500,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par value, common stock 200,000
Retained earnings 660,000
Total stockholders’ equity 1,360,000
(2) Compute the number of shares outstanding after the split.
For a 3-for-1 stock split, we have:
Number of shares outstanding after the split = Number of shares outstanding before the split * 3 = 50,000 * 3 = 150,000
By implication, we have:
Common stock par value after the split = Common stock par value before the split / 3 = $10 / 3 = $3.3333 per share
