Answer:
c. Argument of evaluation
Explanation:
Eduardo will be making a decision on "whether the use of drone technology is a positive or negative development in the history of American military action." This is a judgement call. And he will be determining whether or not drone usage is good or bad. So this is purely an argument of evaluation. The argument is not of fact or definition or a policy argument, but one in which he will establish his opinion on the issue of the use of drone technology in the military.
Tawna Reed was hired for a top managerial position in Nike Corporation because she had creative ability and a good overall feel for the athletic shoe industry. Reed is said to have good _____ skills.
Answer:
C) conceptual.
Explanation:
Conceptual skills are essential in managers of large companies, such as that of the multinational Nike.
This ability means that the manager has a vision of the organization as an integrated system, where each part has its relevance in the organizational whole and must be considered in the processing, evaluation and planning of the strategies that will lead to organizational success.
Having conceptual skills means having the skills to have a diffuse and analytical thinking of the organization and all the parts that involve it, which makes the entire management decision-making process much more efficient and aligned with the organization's objectives and goals.

2017 2016
Free cash flow
Answer:
Please see below
Explanation:
a. Current ratio
= Total current asset / Total current liabilities
2017
Current asset. 890,400
Current liabilities 424,000
Current ratio = 890,400/424,000
= 2.1
2016 Current ratio
Current asset. 999,600
Current liabilities 357,000
Current ratio = 999,600/357,000
= 2.8
b. Earnings per share
= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding
2017
Net income. 166,830
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000
Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000
= $0.83
2016 Earnings per share
Net income $337,600
Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 211,000
Earnings per share = $337,600/211,000
= $1.6
c. Debt to asset ratio
= Total liabilities / Total assets
2017
Total liabilities 573,300
Total assets 1,950,000
= 573,300/1,950,000
= 0.29
2016 Debt to asset ratio
Total liabilities 552,132
Total assets 1,878,000
Debt to asset ratio = 552,132/1,878,000
= 0.29
d. Free cash flow
2017
Cash flow from operating activities 300,000
Less: capital expenditure (271,000)
Free cash flow 29,000
2016 free Cash flow from operating activities
Free cash flow 452,600
Less: capital expenditure (246,500)
Free cash flow. 206,100

Which section of a CAR Residential Purchase Agreement is a provision divided into three sections: mediation, arbitration of disputes, and additional terms?
Answer: Appraisal contingency and Removal.
Explanation:
The appraisal contingency, is a kind of CAR residential purchase agreement, which allows a buyer to back out of the deal if the house appraises for less than the already agreed-upon value. and the loan contingency, this term lets the buyer back out if he/she can't get their loan approved for the said purposes.
The section of a car residential purchase agreement that separates it into three sections would be:
Section 9C
The section titled 9C functions to separate the property purchase provisions into three varied divisions. These divisions include mediation followed by arbitration of disputes, and the external terms that fulfill the remaining ones.The other options are present in order to fulfill if either of them fails to resolve the dispute.Thus, "section 9C" is the correct answer.

Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $900,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 75,000 machine-hours.
During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company’s warehouse. The company’s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:
Machine-hours 76,000
Manufacturing overhead cost $637,000
Inventories at year-end:
Raw materials $20,000
Work in process (includes overhead applied of $36,480) $115,800
Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $91,200) $289,500
Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $480,320) $1,524,700
Required:
a. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead.
b. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
c. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or over appliedoverhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
d. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?
Answer:
Please solution below
Explanation:
a. Compute the under applied or over applied overhead
First, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated total machine hours
= $900,000 / 75,000 hours
= $12.0 per hour
But;
Actual manufacturing overhead = $637,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process during the year = 76,000 actual MHs × $12.00 per MH $912,000
Over applied overhead cost = $275,000
b. Journal entry
Cost of goods sold Dr $275,000
To Manufacturing over head applied Cr $275,000
c. The over applied over head would be allocated using the following percentages;
Overhead applied during the year ;
Work in process = $36,480. 6%
Finished goods = $91,200. 15%
Cost of goods sold = $480,320 79%
Total = $608,000 100%
The entry to record the allocation of the overhead applied would be ;
Work in process [6% × $275,000] = $16,500
Finished goods [15% × $275,000] = $41,250
Cost of goods sold [79% × $275,000] = $217,250
d. Comparing the two method;
Cost of goods sold if the over applied overhead is closed to the cost of goods sold [$1,524,700 + $275,000] = $1,799,700
Cost of goods sold if the overhead applied is closed to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold = [$1,524,700 + $217,250] =
$1,741,950
Difference in cost of goods sold = $57,750
Label the following hypothetical demand scenarios. Use the midpoint method.

CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day. ...............
Inelastic unit-elastic Elastic perfectly elastic
Answer:
Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.
UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms
Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.
INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.
CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.
ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms
__________ provides a snapshot of the financial condition of the firm at a particular time. Multiple Choice The balance sheet The income statement The statement of cash flows All of the options are correct. None of the options are correct.
Answer:
The balance sheet
Explanation:
In a balance sheet, one can see the information on the assets of the company, their liabilities and the equity brought by the shareholders at any particular point in time.
In some cases, it can be referred to as statement of net worth because one can be able to see what the company owns and owes and how the assets are financed either as equity or debt.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $1.25 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 32% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 6% per year. If the required return on Computech is 17%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer:
P₀ = $12.23
Explanation:
Div₃ = $1.25
Div₄ = $1.65
Div₅ = $2.178
Div₆ = $2.30868
first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988
now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value
P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23

How much would the Gerrards have to put down if the lender required a minimum 20 percent down payment
Answer:
the first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions to fill in the blanks:
Ben and Marie Gerrard, both in their mid-20s, have been married for 4 years and have two preschool-age children. Ben has an accounting degree and is employed as a cost accountant at an annual salary of $63,000. They're now renting a duplex but wish to buy a home in the suburbs of their rapidly developing city. They've decided they can afford a $210,000 house and hope to find one with the features they desire in a good neighborhood.
If the Gerrards are required to make a minimum 20% down payment, then they need to pay at least $210,000 x 20% = $42,000.
Many lenders require a minimum down payment for a mortgage loan and others charge different interest rates depending on the down payment percentage, e.g. if your down payment represents 30% of the house's value, the interest rate will be lower than a loan with a 20% down payment. The logic behind this is that the higher the down payment, the safer the loan.
Your firm has taken out a 521,000 loan with 8.6% APR (compounded monthly) for some commercial property. As is common in commercial real estate, the loan is a 5-year loan based on a 15-year amortization. This means that your loan payments will be calculated as if you will take 15 years to pay off the loan, but you actually must do so in 5 years. To do this, you will make 59 equal payments based on the 15-year amortization schedule and then make a final 60th payment to pay the remaining balance.
A. What will your monthly payments be?
B. What will your final payment be?
Answer:
A. What will your monthly payments be?
$5,161.08B. What will your final payment be?
$419,650Explanation:
loan = $521,000
interest rate = 8.6% compounded monthly
loan schedule = 15 years
monthly payment = loan amount / PV annuity factor, 0.7167%, 180 periods* = $521,000 / 100.94786 = $5,161.08
No annuity table will give you the annuity factor for 0.7167%, so you must search for an annuity calculator on the web.
Then I prepared an amortization schedule to determine the balance after the 59th payment (attached file). The balance after the 59th payment is $416,649 + $3,001 in interests = $419,650.
Assume a par value of $1,000. Caspian Sea plans to issue a 9.00 year, semi-annual pay bond that has a coupon rate of 8.04%. If the yield to maturity for the bond is 7.79%, what will the price of the bond be
Answer:
$1,015.96
Explanation:
The Price of the Bond (PV) can be calculated as follows :
Fv = $1,000
Pmt = ($1,000 × 8.04%) ÷ 2 = $40.20
n = 9 × 2 = 18
p/yr = 2
i = 7.79%
pv = ?
Using a financial calculator to input the values as shown above, the Price of the Bond (PV) is $1,015.96

Utilities $185 per month plus $0.10 per haircut
Magazines $35 per month Sunland currently charges $16 per haircut.
Vin currently charges $10 per haircut.
Required:
a. Determine the variable costs per haircut and the total monthly fixed costs.
b. Compute the break-even point in units and dollars.
c. Prepare a CVP graph, assuming a maximum of 1,800 haircuts in a month. Use increments of 300 haircuts on the horizontal axis and $3,000 on the vertical axis.
d. Determine net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month.
Answer:
a. Variable costs = $9.60 and Fixed Costs = $7,840
b. 1,225 haircuts and $19,600
c. See attachment
d. $2,400
Explanation:
Variable Costs per haircut Calculations
Barber supplies $0.35
Utilities $0.10
Commission $9.15
Total Variable Costs per haircut $9.60
Total Monthly Fixed Costs Calculation
Base Salary (1,440 × 4 + 520) $6,280
Advertising $240
Rent $1,100
Utilities $185
Magazines $35
Total Monthly Fixed Costs $7,840
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable Cost per unit
= $16.00 - $9.60
= $6.40
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Selling Price
= $6.40 ÷ $16.00
= 0.40
Break-even point (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $7,840 ÷ $6.40
= 1,225 haircuts
Break-even point (dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $7,840 ÷ 0.40
= $19,600
Net income, assuming 1,600 haircuts are given in a month [calculation]
Contribution (1,600 × $6.40) $10,240
Less Fixed Costs ($7,840)
Net Income/(loss) $2,400
Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual after-tax cost
Additional salary = $ 10,000
Marginal tax rate=21%
First step is to find the income tax benefit
Income tax benefit = $ 10,000 x 21%
Income tax benefit= $ 2,100
Second step is to find the Annual after tax cost of additional salary
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $ 10,000 - $2,100
Annual after tax cost of additional salary = $7,900
Therefore the annual after-tax cost will be $7,900

Your company assembles five different models of a motor scooter that is sold in specialty stores in the United States. The company uses the same engine for all five models. You have been given the assignment of choosing a supplier for these engines for the coming year. Due to the size of your warehouse and other administrative restrictions, you must order the engines in lot sizes of 1,000 units. Because of the unique characteristics of the engine, special tooling is needed during the manufacturing process for which you agree to reimburse the supplier. Your assistant has obtained quotes from two reliable engine suppliers and you need to decide which to use. The following data have been collected:
Requirements (annual forecast) 12,000 units
Weight per engine 22 pounds
Order processing cost $125 per order
Inventory carry cost 20 percent of the average value of inventory per year
Assume that half of lot size is in inventory on average (1,000/2 = 500 units).
Two qualified suppliers have submitted the following quotations:
ORDER QUANTITY SUPPLIER 1 UNIT PRICE SUPPLIER 2 UNIT PRICE
1 to 1,499 units/order $510.00 $505.00
1,500 to 2,999 units/order 500.00 505.00
3,000 + units/order 490.00 488.00
Tooling costs $22,000 $20,000
Distance 125 miles 100 miles
Your assistant has obtained the following freight rates from your carrier:
Truckload (40.000 lbs. each load): $0.80 per ton-mile
Less-than-truckload: $1.20 per ton-mile
Required:
a. Calculate the total cost for each supplier.
b. Which supplier would you select?
c. If you could move the lot size up to ship in truckload quantities, calculate the total cost for each supplier.
d. Would your supplier selection change?
Answer:
a. Cost of Supplier 1 : $6,214,300 per year
Cost of Supplier 2 : $6,147,840
b. Supplier 2 will be selected as it costs $66,460 less than supplier 1.
c. 1,818
d. No.
Explanation:
Supplier : 1 ; 2
Unit price : $510 ; $505
Annual Purchase cost: $6,120,000 ; $6,060,000
One time cost: $22,000 ; $20,000
Orders per year: 12 , 12
Order processing cost: $1,500 ; $1,500
Inventory carrying cost: $51,000 ; $50,500
Distance: 125 ; 100
Weight per load: 22000
Transportation: $19,800 ; $15,840
Total Cost : $6,214,300 ; $6,147,840
Annual Purchase Cost = Demand * Units price
Orders per year = Demand / Lot size

"Bill made an error when he was processing your invoice."
The sentence excerpted from the e-mail uses ACTIVE voice. Given the purpose of your message, this voice IS NOT appropriate.
The whole purpose of this message is to solve a problem without criticizing Bill, but by using active voice, you are directly criticizing him.Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $1,000 child tax credit for Matthew. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $5,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the course of the year. (use the 2016 tax rate schedules).
1. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
2. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
3. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
Answer:
$24750
$47750
Explanation:
Total amount of Marc and Michelle's deduction. From AGI:
MAX of (ITEMIZED DEDUCTION or MARRIED FILING JOINTLY)
2016 TAX SCHEDULE :
STANDARD DEDUCTION FOR MARRIED FILING JOINTLY = $12600
Personal and dependency deduction = 4,050
(4050 * 3). = $12,150
Deduction from AGI = $12,600 + $12,150 = $24750
Taxable income :
Gross income = (Marc and Michelle's salary + corporate bond)
= $(64000 + 12000 + 500) = $76500
Contribution + alimony = ($2500 + $1500) = 4000
Taxable income = ($76500 - 4000 - 24750) = $47750

A stock has an average expected return of 10.8 percent for the next year. The beta of the stock is 1.22. The T-Bill rate is 5% and the T-Bond rate is 3.4 %. What is the market risk premium
Answer: 4.7%
Explanation:
Expected return is calculated as:
= Risk free return + Beta ( Market risk premium)
10.8% = 5% + (1.22 × Market risk premium)
10.8% - 5% = 1.22market risk premium
5.8%/1.22 = market risk premium
Market risk premium = 0.058/1.22
Market risk premium = 0.047
Market risk premium = 4.7%
On January 1, 20X8, L Corporation acquired all of the common stock of S Company for $300,000. On that date, S Company's identifiable net assets had a fair value of $250,000. The assets acquired in the purchase of S are considered to be a separate reporting unit of L Corporation. The carrying value of S Company's net assets at December 31, 20X8, is $310,000. The fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be 260,000. Determine the amount, if any, of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.
a. 40,000
b. 50,000
c. 10,000
d. 60,000
Answer:
b. 50,000
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the computation of impairment loss is shown below:-
The Amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8 is
= Net assets - Fair value of reporting unit
= $310,000 - $260,000
= $50,000
Therefore we applied the above formula to determine the amount of impairment loss to be recognized at December 31, 20X8.
"Ayres Services acquired an asset for $80 million in 2021." The asset is depreciated for financial reporting purposes over four years on a straight-line basis (no residual value). Ayers deducted 100% of the asset's cost for income tax reporting in 2021. The enacted tax rate is 25%. Amounts for pretax accounting income, depreciation, and taxable income in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 are as follows: ($ in millions)
2021 2022 2023 2024
Pretax accounting income $330 $350 $365 $400
Depreciation on the income statement 20 20 20 20
Depreciation on the tax return (80 ) (0 ) (0 ) (0 )
Taxable income $270 $370 $385 $420
For December 31 of each year, determine:
a. The cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset.
b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account.
Answer:
a. The cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset are as follows:
December 31, 2021 = $60 million
December 31, 2022 = $40 million
December 31, 2023 = $20 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account are as follows.
December 31, 2021 = $15 million
December 31, 2022 = $10 million
December 31, 2023 = $5 million
December 31, 2024 = $0
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset and the balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account for December 31 of years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 in bold red color.
In the attached excel file, the following formula are used:
Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the previous year + (Depreciation on the tax return at December 31 of the current year - Depreciation on the income statement at December 31 of the current year)
Balance to be reported in deferred tax liability account at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year * Tax rate
Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings:________.
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings. The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms. However, if trade restrictions were temporarily imposed on ball bearings, the domestic ball-bearing industry could mature and adjust and would eventually be able to compete in the world market.
Which of the following justifications is the lobbyist using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings?
A. Infant-industry argument
B. Saving-domestic-jobs argument
C. Using-protection-as-a-bargaining-chip argument
D. National-security argument
E. Unfair-competition argument
Answer:
A)Infant-industry argument
Explanation:
We are informed about a Supposed policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings. Whereby
Domestic producers of ball bearings send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions on imports of ball bearings.
In the case whereby, The lobbyist claims that the U.S. ball-bearing industry is new and cannot currently compete with foreign firms, the justifications the lobbyist was using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings is Infant-industry argument.
Infant-industry argument can be regarded as an economic rationale that provides protection for new industries that are yet to reach a certain economic scale like the existing industries, this theory offer protection to this new/developing industry from some form pressure as well as their products that can emerge from compitition from other mature industries.
