In Entrepreneur characteristics, observant refers to the ability to quickly notice a certain pattern or unusual situation.
This skill is important because of these two following reasons:
- It helped the entrepreneur notice an existing trend. This trend could represent the things that are currently favored by the consumers in a certain market. Understanding trend will help you creating a product that can fit into that trend.
- It also help the entrepreneur notice the problems that occur internally. For example, being observant will help the entrepreneur notice the negative emotion that the employees experience when facing a certain problem.

On January 1, 2013, Parent Company purchased 80% of the common stock of Subsidiary Company for $280,000. On this date, Subsidiary had total owners' equity of $250,000 (common stock $20,000; other paid-in capital, $80,000; and retained earnings, $150,000). Any excess of cost over book value is due to the under or overvaluation of certain assets and liabilities. Inventory, which was sold in the third quarter, is undervalued $5,000. Land is undervalued $20,000. Buildings and equipment have a fair value which exceeds book value by $30,000, and a 5-year expected life. Bonds payable are overvalued $10,000. The remaining excess, if any, is due to goodwill. Subsidiary had net income of $60,000 and paid $3,000 in dividends during 2013. Parent had net income of $50,000 and paid $1,000 in dividends during 2013. Assume that Parent uses equity method to record its investment.

Deal Leasing leased equipment to Hand Company on January 1, 2021. The leased equipment's book value is $420,000 with no estimated residual value at the end of its useful life. The remaining useful life of the leased equipment is 15 years. The lease payments were calculated to provide the lessor a 10% return. Ten annual lease payments of $60,000 are due at the beginning of each year beginning January 1, 2021. Both companies use the straight-line method in depreciation/amortization their assets.
Answer:
The requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question. This is a financial lease since the PV of the lease payments represents 97% of the asset's value.
January 1, 2021, equipment leased from Deal leasing
Dr Right of use asset 405,541.20
Cr Lease liability 405,541.20
the right of use asset = PV of lease payments = $60,000 x 6.75902 (PV annuity due, 10%, 10 periods) = $405,541.20
January 1, 2021, first lease payment
Dr Lease liability 60,000
Cr Cash 60,000
December 31, 2021, depreciation expense on leased asset
Dr Depreciation expense 40,554.12
Cr Accumulated depreciation 40,554.12
depreciation expense = $405,541.20 / 10 = $40,554.12
December 31, 2021, interest expense on asset lease
Dr Interest expense 34,554.12
Cr Interest payable 34,554.12
interest expense = ($405,541.20 - $60,000) x 10% = $34,554.12
Suppose that France and Austria both produce rye and wine. France's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 bushels of rye while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 10 bushels of rye. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that __________ has a comparative advantage in the production of wine and __________has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.
Suppose that France and Austria consider trading wine and rye with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than __________of rye for each bottle of wine it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than __________of wine for each bushel of rye it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of wine in terms of rye) would allow both Austria and France to gain from trade?
a. 7 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
b. 4 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
c. 1 bushel of rye per bottle of wine
d. 11 bushels of rye per bottle of wine
Answer:
France has comparative advantage in production of wine
Austria has comparative advantage in production of rye.
4 bushels of rye for each bottle of wine
1 bottle of wine for each bushel.
b. 4 bushel of rye per bottle of wine.
Explanation:
France has comparative advantage in producing wine as it has opportunity cost of 4 bushels per bottle of wine. Austria has comparative advantage in producing bushels as it has opportunity cost of 10 bushels per bottle of wine. The both countries can gain advantage if they agree for 4 bushels per wine.
Assume General Electric Company agreed in May 2016 to construct a nuclear generator for NSTAR, a utility company serving the Boston area. General Electric Company estimated that its construction costs would be $960 million. The contract price of $1,200 million is to be paid as follows: $400 million at the time of signing; $400 million on December 31, 2016; and $400 million at completion in May 2017. General Electric incurred the following costs in constructing the generator: $384 million in 2016 and $576 million in 2017.
Required:
Compute the amount of General Electric's revenue, expense, and income for both 2016 and 2017, and for both years combined, under the cost-to-cost revenue recognition method. Enter dollar amounts in millions.
Answer:
date revenue costs
May 2016 $400
Dec. 2016 $400 $384 / $960 = 40%
May 2017 $400 $576 / $960 = 60%
Revenue recognized during 2016 = $1,200 x 40% = $480 million
Expenses recognized during 2016 = $384 million
Income recognized during 2016 = $480 - $384 = $96 million
Revenue recognized during 2017 = $1,200 x 60% = $720 million
Expenses recognized during 2017 = $576 million
Income recognized during 2017 = $720 - $576 = $144 million
Combined years:
Revenue recognized = $1,200 million
Expenses recognized = $960 million
Income recognized = $240 million

Debit Amortization Expense - Patent $4,400,000
Credit Accumulated Amortization-Patent $4,400,000
To record the revised amortization expense for the year.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Patent's value on January 1, 2012 = $19,800,000
Patent's assessed lifespan = 9 years
Amortization expense for each year on straight-line = $2,200,000 ($19,800,000/9)
Accumulated Amortization for Patent = $6,600,000 (for 3 years)
Net book value of patent = $13,200,000 ($19,800,000 - $6,600,000)
Revised lifespan = 6 years
Revised amortization expense per year = $4,400,000 ($13,200,000/3)

Explanation:
Last week, an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovered that the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. (CSI). CSI is the company developing and attempting to market the drug. Upon being interviewed by federal authorities, the doctors acknowledged their conflict of interest but reported that they were sold the shares at a 75% discount by CSI's chief financial officer. The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus.
Does an agency conflict exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders?
a. Yes; CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.
b. Yes; the shares should not have been sold at a 75% discount, which is price discrimination.
c. No; professionals, such as doctors and professional money managers, would not participate in unethical activities.
d. No; in general, shareholders are satisfied with company officers engaging in any type of legal or illegal activity to ensure the chances of them receiving greater dividend payments.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth?
a. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
b. Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.

SECOND QUESTION
A)Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
LAST QUESTION
MORE likely
Explanation:
We are informed from the question about an investigative reporter for a major metropolitan newspaper discovery about the doctors conducting clinical trials of a new cancer treatment drug are also the principal shareholders in Cancer Solutions Inc. And how The CFO was concerned that CSI might not be able to meet its annual performance objectives and in turn pay his anticipated multimillion-dollar bonus.
In this case there is an agency conflict that exist between CSI's CFO and the company's shareholders, this is because the, CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus.
Agency conflict in finance, is also regarded as conflict of interest, usually occur between the management and the shareholders of that company, it is conflict that usually emerge when those that are required for certain responsibility like interest of principal decide to divert the the authority for their own benefits. However,agency conflict can be minimized by allowing transparency and some ways.
It should be noted here that the CSI's CFO engaged in unethical conduct to manipulate the firm's short-term earnings and improve the likelihood of receiving his annual bonus which is the reason behind the conflict because he act on his own interest.
SECOND QUESTION,
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers' objectives with the firm's shareholder wealth?

You are invested in two hedge funds. The probability that hedge fund Alpha generates positive returns in any given year is 60%. The probability that hedge fund Omega generates positive returns in any given year is 70%. Assume the returns are independent. What is the probability that both funds generate positive returns in a given year? What is the probability that both funds lose money?
Answer:
42% and 12%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Alpha Fund
Positive return = 60%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.60
= 40%
For Omega Fund
Positive return = 70%
Lose money is
= 1 - 0.70
= 0.30
Also the returns are non-dependent
Now the positive return is
= 60% × 70
= 42%
And, the probability of lose money is
= 40% × 30%
= 12%
Assume the bonds below have the same term and principal and that the state or local government that issues the municipal bond has a good credit rating. Which list has bonds correctly ordered from the one that pays the highest interest rate to the one that pays the lowest interest rate
Answer:
b. corporate bond, U.S. government bond, municipal bond
Explanation:
If we assume that the bonds have the similar time period and the principal amount so the bond that pays the highest interest to the bond that pays the lowest interest rate is described below:
The ranking can be done
Corporate bond - highest interest rates
Municipal bonds - lowest interest rates
The same is to be considered
Therefore the option b is correct
Consider a multifactor model with two factors. A well-diversified portfolio (Portfolio P) has a beta of 0.75 on factor 1 and a beta of 1.25 on factor 2. The risk premiums on the factor 1 and factor 2 are 1% and 7%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return is 7%. What is the expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model
Answer: 16.5%
Explanation:
Expected Return on portfolio P will be calculated as:
= Rf + (Beta1 × F1) + (Beta2 × F2)
where,
Rf = Risk Free rate
F1 = risk premium on Factor1
F2 = risk premium on Factor2
Expected Return will now be:
= 7% + (0.75 × 1%) + (1.25 × 7%)
= 7% + 0.75% + 8.75%
= 16.5%
The expected return on portfolio P, according to a two-factor model will be 16.5%.
Answer:
16.5%
Explanation:
A multi-factor model can be used to explain either an individual security or a portfolio of securities. It does so by comparing two or more factors to analyze relationships between variables and the resulting performance.
DATA
Risk Free rate = Rf = 7%
risk premium on Factor1 = F1 = 1%
Beta (Factor 1) = 1.25
risk premium on Factor2 = F2 = 7%
Beta (Factor 1) = 2
Expected Return = Rf + (Beta1 x F1) + (Beta2 * F2)
Expected Return = 7% + (0.75 x 1%) + (1.25 x 7%)
Expected Return = 0.07 + 0.0075 + 0.0875
Expected Return = 0.165 or 16.5%
Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Missing question: The ability to declare bankruptcy increased the disagreement value of the city during negotiation with the unions
Alternatives available to an agreement determine the terms of an agreement. If bankruptcy is been declared in a situation where the cities can manipulate and evade much of their pension obligations owed to unions, such scenarios gives the city a much better alternative, if the favorable agreement with the city's unions and retirees emerge.

A company has total equity of $1,965, net working capital of $175, long-term debt of $940, and current liabilities of $1,770. What is the company's net fixed assets?
Answer:
The net fixed assets is $2,730
Explanation:
The computation of the net fixed asset is shown below:
= Total equity + long term debt + current liabilities - (net working capital + current liabilities)
= $1,965 + $940 + $1,770 - ($175 + $1,770)
= $2,730
hence, the net fixed assets is $2,730

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of Most decision makers and analysts use five groups of ratios to examine the different aspects of a company's performance.
Indicate whether each of the following statements regarding financial ratios are true or false?
Statement True False
1. A company exhibiting a high liquidity ratio means it is likely to have enough resources to pay off its short-term obligations
2. Asset management ratios provide insights into management's efficiency in using a firm's working capital and long-term assets.
3. Debt management or financial leverage ratios help analysts determine whether a company has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.
4. One possible explanation for an increase in a firm's profitability ratios over a certain time span is that the company's income has increased
5. Market-value ratios help analysts figure out what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance
Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis?
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
b. A firm's financial statements show only one period of financial data.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.
Answer:
First Part1. True
Liquidity ratios such as the Current ratio are used to show that a company can cover its short-term obligations.
2. True
Asset management ratios juxtapose a company's performance vs its long term assets and so provide insights into management's efficiency.
3. False
Debt management ratios show how much of the company is funded by total debt not whether it has sufficient cash to repay its short- term debt obligations.
4. True
Profitability ratios take into account how much income is raised by a company so when this increases, the ratios will as well.
5. True
Market-Value ratios show the firm's value in the market which is a reflection of what investors and the markets think about the firm's growth prospects or current and future operational performance.
Second PartThe Weakness/ Limitations are;
a. A firm may operate in multiple industries.
Should this be the case, the company's performance in one sector cannot necessarily be compared to companies that operate in that single sector because it would not take into account the company's other sectors which may impact figures.
c. Different firms may use different accounting practices.
When different accounting practices are used, ratio analysis may not be a true indication of the situations in the company. For instance, a company using LIFO cannot be effectively compared to a company using FIFO when using ratio analysis.
Rodeo, Inc. has a contribution margin ratio of 30%. This month, profit was $12,300 and fixed costs were $15,600. How much was Laredo's sales revenue
Answer:
Sales= $93,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.30
Profit= $12,300
Fixed costs= $15,600
First, we need to determine the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 12,300 + 15,600
Total contribtuion margin= $27,900
Now, to calculate the sales revenue, we need to use the following formula:
Sales= total contribution margin / Contribution margin ratio
Sales= 27,900/0.3
Sales= $93,000

The Weber Company purchased a mining site for $1,750,000 on July 1. The company expects to mine ore for the next 10 years and anticipates that a total of 400,000 tons will be recovered. The estimated residual value of the property is $150,000. During the first year, the company extracted 6,500 tons of ore. The depletion expense is
Answer:
The correct solution is "$26,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Cost
= $1,750,000
Salvage value
= $150,000
First Year Extraction
= 6,500
Total Extraction
= 400,000
Now,
⇒ [tex]Depletion \ Expense = (Cost - Salvage \ value)\times (\frac{First \ Year \ Extraction}{Total \ extraction} )[/tex]
On putting the values, we get
⇒ = [tex](1,750,000 - 150,000)\times (\frac{6,500}{400,000} )[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]1,600,000\times 0.01625[/tex]
⇒ = [tex]26,000[/tex] ($)

Financial Assertions and Audit Objectives. You are engaged to examine the financial statements of Spillane Company for the year ended December 31. Assume that on November 1, Spillane borrowed $500,000 from Second National Bank to finance plant expansion. The long-term note agreement provided for the annual payment of principal and interest over five years. The existing plant was pledged as security for the loan. Due to the unexpected difficulties in acquiring the building site, the plant expansion did not begin on time. To use the borrowed funds, management decided to invest in stocks and bonds and on November 16, invested the $500,000 in publicly traded securities
Required:
Develop specific assertions (audit objectives) related to securities (assets) based on management’s five (PCAOB) general assertions.
Answer:
Assertion 1) Existence or occurrence: the company must provide the loan documents along with proof that they actually purchased the stocks and bonds using the loan money. It would also help to have a document explaining why the building site couldn't be acquired as planned.
Assertion 2) Rights and obligations: all the legal paperwork regarding the loan, the mortgage on the existing plant and the stocks and bond paperwork must be presented.
Assertion 3) Completeness: all the relevant information must be readily available including building titles, inventories, equipment, cash receipts, etc. The auditor should be allowed to physically visit the plant and confirm the documents.
Assertion 4) Valuation and allocation: information regarding the current market values of the building, inventories and equipment should be given. The auditor should be able to confirm if the depreciation values and market values are consistent. Also, the auditor must have access to accounts receivables and should be able to analyze them to check for any inconsistencies.
Assertion 5) Presentation and disclosure: the auditor should be able to check expense accounts and capitalization accounts, and analyze them. E.g. equipment or machinery repairs must be treated as expenses and not capitalized.
Air conditioning for a college dormitory will cost $2.1 million to install and $170,000 per year to operate at current prices. The system should last 19 years. The real cost of capital is 9%, and the college pays no taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost
Answer:
$404,634
Explanation:
the formula that we can use to calculate equivalent annual costs is:
EAC = asset price x {discount rate / [1 - (1 + discount rate)⁻ⁿ]} + annual maintenance costs
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000 = $234,634 + $170,000 = $404,634
EAC is basically the cost of using an asset during its lifetime. We are determining the cost per year, assuming that they are all equal.
Identify which control activity is violated in each of the following situations, and explain how the situation creates an opportunity for fraud or inappropriate accounting practices.
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer
Answer:
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
⇒ documentation procedures
Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
⇒ segregation of duties
One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud. Imagine if the person in charge of the inventory is also in charge of making new purchases, paying for them and reporting ending inventory. No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer
⇒ establishment of responsibility
If everyone is allowed to collect money, no one can be responsible for any loss.

Silver Enterprises has acquired All Gold Mining in a merger transaction. The following balance sheets represent the premerger book values for both firms:
Silver Enterprises
Current assets $ 10,000
Current liabilities $ 7,840
Other assets 3,100
Long-term debt 5,110
Net fixed assets 17,300
Equity 17,450
Total $ 30,400
Total $ 30,400
All Gold Mining
Current assets $ 2,920
Current liabilities $ 2,620
Other assets 1,380
Long-term debt 0
Net fixed assets 6,110
Equity 7,790
Total $ 10,410
Total $ 10,410
Construct the balance sheet for the new corporation if the merger is treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. The market value of All Gold Mining's fixed assets is $7,510; the market values for current and other assets are the same as the book values. Assume that Silver Enterprises issues $14,660 in new long-term dept to finance the acquisition.
Answer:
Silver Enterprises Post Merger Balance Sheet
Current Assets 12,920 Current liabilities 10,460
Other Asset 4,480 Long-term debt 19,770
Net Fixed Asset 24,810 Equity 17,450
Goodwill 5,470
$47,880 $47,680
Explanation:
Current assets = 10,000 + 2,920 = 12,920
Other assets = 3,100 + 1,380 = 4,480
Current liabilities = 7,840 + 2,620 = 10,460
Net fixed assets = 17,300 + 7,510= 24,810
Long-term debt = 5,110 + 14,660 = 19,770
Equity = $17,450
At a local business school, there is a toasted submarine sandwich process that uses a conveyor-fed oven. ( See picture below) Alice is the sole operator of the sub making process. In the first step of the process, she spends 2 minutes putting various ingredients in the sub. Then, she puts the sub on a conveyor belt and, over a period of 12 minutes, the conveyor moves the sub from the beginning of the oven to the end of the oven, fully toasting it. After the sub comes out of the oven, Alice spends 1 minute slicing the sandwich and putting it in a box. At most, 5 subs can fit in the oven at once. The toasting time in the oven does not depend on the number of subs in the oven.
Required:
a. Draw a process-flow chart for the sandwich-making process.
b. Calculate the hourly capacity of this sandwich-making process.
c. Suppose another employee is hired to do the slicing and boxing, and Zeynep now only loads the sandwiches with the right ingredients. What is the hourly capacity of this process with the additional employee?
Answer:
b. 20 sandwiches
c. 25 sandwiches
Explanation:
1. I added this diagram of the flow chart as an attachment
2.
Hourly capacity of sandwich making process:
Time it makes to 1 sandwich: 2 + 12 + 1 = 15
The time alice spends when making one sandwich = 2 + 1 = 3
oven uses 12 minutes to process one sandwich, so in 12 minutes, alice can can make 12/3 sandwiches = 4
The Oven can take 5 subs at a time,
So in one hour, the making process
= 60/3 = 20 sandwiches
3.
To calculate Hourly capacity with additional employee:
Alice takes 2 minutes
Additional employees takes 1 minute
Oven uses 12 minutes to make one sandwich
It's only after every 2 minutes Alice can put one sandwich. The oven can take only 5 sandwiches.
So in an hour:
Since oven can take 5
Sandwiches at a time, therefore one sandwich takes,
12 / 5 = 2.4 minutes.
In 1 hour number we have number of processed sandwich as
60 / 2.4 = 25
At hourly capacity with additional employees we have 25 sandwiches
