The available options are:
A. Amelia, a business creditor attempting to collect her own debt from Bednar, a private party customer who had fallen six-months behind on payments to Amelia.
B. Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation.
C. Nichole, a business creditor attempting to collect her own debt from Jared Incorporated, a business debtor that had fallen one-year behind on payments to Nichole.
D. The restrictions of the FDCPA would apply to Amelia the business creditor, Nichole the business creditor and Mees, the debt collection agent.
Answer:
B. Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation.
Explanation:
The restrictions of the fair debt collection practice act apply only to the "DEBT COLLECTORS who obtain an account for a collection of debt that belongs to another company."
This is defined by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Section 803, subchapter 6. The term DEBT COLLECTOR is carefully defined in six categories, and it does not involve business creditors attempting to collect their debt by themselves, the closest is their employees attempting to collect the debt on their behalf.
Hence, considering the available options, the correct answer is "Mees, the owner of a debt collection agency, who is attempting to collect a debt as an agent of Big Corporation."

Beginning inventory, purchases and sales data for tennis rackets are as follows:
Apr. 1 Inventory 12 units at $45
Apr. 11 Purchase 13 units at $47
Apr. 14 Sale 18 units
Complete the inventory cost card assuming the business maintains a perpetual inventory system and calculate merchandise sold and ending inventory using LIFO.
Assume the selling price for the units sold on April 14 was $100.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $836
Ending inventory = $315
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Description Units Unit Price Balance
Apr. 1 Inventory 12 $45 $540
Apr. 11 Purchase 13 $47 $1,151 ($540 + 13 * $47)
Apr. 14 Sale (18) $100 $315 ($7 * $45)
Sales revenue = $1,800 ($100 * 18)
Cost of goods sold = $836 ($47 * 13 + $45 * 5)
Ending inventory = $315 ($7 * $45)
b) Under the LIFO (Last in, First out) inventory valuation method, it is assumed that goods that were purchased closest to the selling date were the ones to be sold while those purchased earlier remain in inventory.

Bermuda Cruises issues only common stock and coupon bonds. The firm has a debt–equity ratio of .73. The cost of equity is 11.5 percent and the pretax cost of debt is 6.6 percent. What is the capital structure weight of the firm's equity if the firm's tax rate is 39 percent?
Answer:
0.5780
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the capital structure weight of the firm's equity
Using this formula
Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + D-E)
Let plug in the formula
Weight of equity = 1 / (1 + .73)
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.73
Weight of equity = 0.5780
Therefore the capital structure weight of the firm's equity is 0.5780

Select the financial statement on which the user would most likely find the answer to the question given. (Select all that apply.) Did the company purchase any intangible assets during the year?
Answer: Balance sheet
Explanation:
Intangible assets are recorded in the balance sheet along with other assets. Specifically, they are recorded as fixed assets because they represent assets that last for more than a year.
To see if any intangible assets have been purchased in a year therefore, one needs to take a look at the balance sheet to see if the Intangible asset balance has increased from the previous year. If it has then some new intangible assets were purchased.
For each of the following situations involving annuities, solve for the unknown. Assume that interest is compounded annually and that all annuity amounts are received at the end of each period.-interest rate, and n number of years EV of $1, PV of $1, EVA of $1 PVA of $1, EVAD of $1 and PVAD of $ Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.
Present Value Annuity Amount i = n =
1. ___________ $2,600 8% 5
2. 507,866 135,000 ___ 4
3. 661,241 170,000 9% ____
4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 8
5. 230,000 _____________ 10% 4
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
For point 1:
[tex]Annuity\ Amount= \$2,600\\\\i=8\%\\\\n=5\\\\Present\ Value=?[/tex]
Our table shows that the factor is equal at 3.99271 for 8 percent and 5 periods. In addition to this, the present value is $10,381 dollars in the annuity.
For point 2:
[tex]Present \ Value=507,866\\\\ Annuity \ Amount= 135,000\\\\ i =?\\\\n =4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]507,866 = 135,000 \times PVOA \ Factor\\\\\frac{507,866}{135,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.76197 = PVOA\ Factor[/tex]
When looking at our n=4 row table, we notice that perhaps the factor of PVOA is equal to 3,56197 whenever the rate is equal to 2,5%.
For point 3:
[tex]Present\ Value=661,241\\\\ Annuity\ Amount= 170,000\\\\ i = 9\% \\\\n =?[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]661,241 = 170,000 \times PVOA\ Factor \\\\\frac{661,241}{170,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.88965 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you really are looking at our table in column i = 9%, we found PVOA is 3.88965 if n is 5.
For point 4:
[tex]Present\ Value= 540,000 \\\\Annuity \ Amount=78,557\\\\ i = ?\\\\n =8[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]540,000 = 78,557 \times PVOA\ Factor\\\\\frac{540,000}{78,557} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\6.873989 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you verify our table for n = 8 lines, the PVOA factor is approximately 6.87399 when the rate of interest is 3.5 percent.
For point 5:
[tex]Present\ Value=230,000\\\\ Annuity\ Amount=?\\\\ i =10\%\\\\ n =4[/tex]
The PVOA factor is 3.16997 when we search our table with i = 10% and n = 4.
[tex]230,000 = Annuity \ Amount \times 3.16987\\\\\frac{230,000}{3.16987} = Annuity\ Amount\\\\72,558 = Annuity\ Amount\\\\annuity\ total= \$72,558.[/tex]
Black Diamond Company produces snow skis . Each ski requires 2 pounds of carbon fiber . The company's management predicts that 6,000 skis and 7,000 pounds of carbon fiber will be in inventory on June 30 of the current year and that 160.000 will be sold during the next ( third ) quarter . A set of two skis sells for $ 400 . Management wants to end the third quarter with 4,500 skis and 5,000 pounds of carbon fiber in inventory . Carbon fiber can be purchased for $ 25 per pound Each ski requires 0.5 hours of direct labor at $ 30 per hour . Variable overhead is applied at the rate of $ 18 per direct labor hour . The company budgets fixed overhead of $ 1,792,000 for the quarter . Required : 1. Prepare the third - quarter production budget for skis .
Answer:
158,500
Explanation:
Preparation of the third - quarter production budget for skis .
BLACK DIAMOND COMPANY Production Budget (in units)Third Quarter
Budgeted ending inventory (skis) 4,500
Add budgeted sale 160,000
Required units of available production 164,500
(4500+160,000)
Deduct beginning inventory (skis) (6,000)
Units to be manufactured 158,500
(164,500-6,000)
Therefore the third - quarter production budget for skis is 158,500
Maize Plastics manufactures and sells bottles per day. Fixed Costs are $30,000 and the variable costs for manufacturing 50 bottles are $10,000. Each bottle is sold for $1,000. How would the daily profit be affected if the daily volume of sales drop by 10%?
a. profits are reduced by $4,000
b. profits are reduced by $1,000
c. profits are reduced by $5,000
d. profits are reduced by $6,000
Answer:
a. profits are reduced by $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How would the daily profit be affected if the daily volume of sales drop by 10%
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Variable cost per unit = $10,000 / 50
Variable cost per unit = $200
Second step is to calculate the Profit for 50 bottles
Profit for 50 bottles = ($1,000 × 50) - ($30,000 + $10,000)
Profit for 50 bottles = $10,000
Third step is to calculate the Sales after 10% drop
Sales after 10% drop = 50 × (1 - 0.10)
Sales after 10% drop= 45
Fourth step is to calculate the Profit for 45 bottles
Profit for 45 bottles = ($1,000 × 45) - ($30,000 + (45 × 200))
Profit for 45 bottles= $6,000
Now let determine the Change in profit
Change in profit = $10,000 - $6,000
Change in profit= $4,000
Therefore How would the daily profit be affected if the daily volume of sales drop by 10% is that the PROFITS ARE REDUCED BY $4,000

a. Fertilizer bought by a Florida tomato grower.
b. A haircut bought by a student.
c. New cars bought by Hertz comma the car rental firm.
d.. A new bridge across the creek in the Augusta National Golf Club.
Answer:
Classification of Goods
a. Intermediate good; Investment
b. Final Good = Consumption
c. Intermediate good; Investment
d. Intermediate good = Investment
Explanation:
An intermediate good produces a final good for consumption. Intermediate goods are used for investment to generate more resources that can be consumed in the future. A final good, in most cases, does not require further processing. It is consumed immediately by the buyer.
Verslas is a firm operating in a monopolistically competitive market. It is currently maximizing profit with an output of 1,200 units and a price of $5. Based on this information, which of the following statements must be true?
a. Verslas could not sell more units by lowering its price.
b. Verslas is earning normal profit.
c. Verslas is earning $3,600 in profit.
d. Verslas has a marginal revenue less than $5.
e. Verslas has a marginal revenue greater than $5.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
If Verslas is producing at a profit maximising point, it means that marginal revenue equal marginal revenue and the firm is earning a normal profit
g A company's flexible budget for 15,000 units of production showed sales, $60,000; variable costs, $22,500; and fixed costs, $17,000. The sales expected if the company produces and sells 19,000 units is (Do not round intermediate calculations):
Answer:
$76,000
Explanation:
The first step is to find the sales price per unit
= 60,000/15,000
= $4
Therefore the sales expected from the company can be calculated as follow
= 4×19,000
= 76,000
Hence the expected sales is $76,000

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Project A
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $20,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $20,000 + $8,600 = 28,600
I = 16%
NPV = $-32775.48
Project B
Cash flow in year 0 = -$110,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = $68,000
Cash flow in year 6 = $68,000 + $110,000 = $178,000
I = 16%
NPV = $185,710.69
Project B should be chosen because its NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

A tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate
Answer:
Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease
Explanation:
Given that the capital stock of a nation or country jas a direct impact on such country in terms of savings and investments which directly translates to additional.economic development.
Hence, in this case, when a tremendous flood along the Mississippi River destroys thousands of factories, reducing the nation's capital stock by 5%. What happens to current employment and the real wage rate is that "Both employment and the real wage rate would decrease"
This because there won't be adequate money available to create more employment. And with lease employment opportunities than the available labor, the real wage rate tends to decrease over time.

Taveras Corporation is currently operating at 50% of its available manufacturing capacity. It uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: Machine-hours required to support estimated production 235,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 3,760,000 Variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 2.00
Required:
1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate.
2. During the year, Job P90 was started, completed, and sold to the customer for $3,900. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 1,794 Direct labor cost $ 1,287 Machine-hours used 86
Compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job P90.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
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= (3,760,000 / 235,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $18 per machine hour
Job P90:
Direct materials $ 1,794
Direct labor cost $ 1,287
Machine-hours used 86
We need to allocate overhead costs:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 18*86= $1,548
Total manufacturing costs= 1,548 + 1,794 + 1,287
Total manufacturing costs= $4,629

A Consumer Expenditure Survey in the city of Firestorm shows that people buy only firecrackers and bandages. s AConsumer Expenditure Survey in 2016 shows that the average household spent $216 on firecrackers and $18 on bandages. In 2016, the reference base year, the price of a firecracker was $6, and the price of bandages was $2 a pack. In the current year, 2017, firecrackers are $5 each and bandages are $3 a pack Calculate the CPI market basket and the percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year.
The CPI market basket is nothing ______ and nothing _______ packs of bandages dollars worth of bandages . The percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year is_______ percent.
Answer: 92.3%
Explanation:
The total budget which is the sum of all the expenditure by the household will be the addition of the $216 spent on firecrackers and $18 on bandages. This will be:
= $216 + $18
= $234
Price of a firecracker = $6
Price of bandages = $2 a pack
Number of firecrackers = $216/$6 = 36
Number of bandages = $18/$2 = 9
CPI market basket is 36 firecrackers and 9 bandages.
Therefore, the percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year will be:
= Expenditures on firecrackers/Total expenditure
= $216 / $234
= 92.3%
Suppose that the total value of dividends to be paid by companies in the Narnian stock market index is $100 billion. Investors expect dividends to grow over the long term by 5% annually, and they require a 10% return. Now a collapse in the economy leads investors to revise their growth estimate down to 4%. By how much should market values change
Answer:
The correct answer is "16.67%".
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend,
= $100 billion
Rate of return,
= 10%
= 0.10
Growth rate,
= 5%
= 0.05
Now,
Market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{Dividend}{Rate \ of\ return-Growth \ rate}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.10-0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]2000 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
After collapse,
The market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{100}{(.10-.04)}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{100}{.06}[/tex]
= [tex]1666.67[/tex] ($)
Change in market value will be:
= [tex]2000-1666.67[/tex]
= [tex]333.33 \ Billion[/tex] ($)
hence,
The percentage change in market value will be:
= [tex]\frac{333.33}{2000}[/tex]
= [tex]16.67[/tex]%
