Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.

Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.

Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.

In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.  

However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Length of contract: 12 months

Income recorded in 2019:

= $40,000 × 6/12

= $40,000 × 1/2

= $20,000

Income recorded in 2020:

= $40,000 × 6/12

= $40,000 × 1/2

= $20,000

Length of contract: 24 months

Income recorded in 2019:

= $80,000 × 6/24

= $80,000 × 1/4

= $20,000

Income recorded in 2020:

= $80,000 × 18/24

= $80,000 × 3/4

= $60,000

Carol wants to invest money in a 6% Certificate of Deposit (CD) that compounds semiannually. Carol would like the account to have a balance of $50,000 five years from now. How much must Carol deposit to accomplish her goal

Answers

Answer:

the present value is $37,230.10

Explanation:

The computation of the present value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^time period

$50,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.06 ÷ 2)^5 × 2

$50,000 = Present value × (1.03)^10

$50,000 = Present value × 1.343

So, the present value is $37,230.10

hence, the present value is $37,230.10

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.

ogan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Logan's actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $713,400 and its actual total direct labor was 41,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate for the year.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated direct labor hours= 40,000

Estimated fixed overhead= $466,000

Estimated variable overhead rate= $3.00 per direct labor-hour.

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= (466,000/40,000) + 3

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

If 60% of the population is female and 30% of females buy physical therapy services, and 70% of men buy physical therapy services, is there more demand for physical therapy from women or men?

Answers

Answer:

Men.

Explanation:

Well, 70% of 40% (100% - 60%) = 28% total population demand.

30% of 60% = 18%

28% > 18%

Clearly, men have more demand for physical therapy as compared with women.

What is the importance of population distribution?

Multiple uses can be made of population distribution data among administrative areas. They often serve as the foundation for choosing the electoral districts. They offer fundamental information for population estimates and are helpful in relation to social, economic, and administrative planning.

Because out of the total 40% population of men 70% required therapy which is greater than, the total 60% of women population 30% required therapy.

Right, businesses face fierce competition through competitiveness throughout today's time, because it has become extremely necessary for organizations to develop a marketing campaign that makes companies contemplate consumer response.

After all, if any business marketing plan doesn't somehow anticipate competition reaction, then all these threats can occur:

Someone's brand sales should decline as consumers should choose the brand of their rivals. Your company's market position as well as business growth would decline as well as the brand's rivals will rise. Throughout the life cycle of the product, your company will hit the decline point. Your business's share price could decline.

Jupiter Explorers has $8,800 in sales. The profit margin is 4 percent. There are 5,300 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.60. What is the price-earnings ratio

Answers

Answer:

Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)

Given:

Sale = $8,800

Profit margin = 4% = 0.04

Number of share = 5,300

Market price per share = $1.60

Find:

Price-earnings ratio

Computation:

Earnings Per share = Profit / Number of shares

Earnings Per share = [8,800 x 0.04] / 5300

Earnings Per share = $0.0664

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings Per share

Price earnings ratio = 1.60/0.0664

Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)

Robert needs his daily fix of coffee in the mid-afternoon and visits different coffee shops that will give him as much utility as possible, given his $20/month food budget. On Monday, the Blue Coffee Shop was selling espresso shots for $3 each and Robert added 3 shots to his cappuccino. By Friday, the Purple Coffee Shop offered espresso shots for $2 each, while all other prices remained the same, so Robert was bold and added 4 espresso shots to his hot beverage.

Required:
Given this information, plot Robert's demand curve for espresso shots.

Answers

Answer:

I drew Robert's demand curve for espresso shots assuming that it was a linear curve since the information contained in the question is limited to that.  

A demand curve generally is downward sloping, since an increase in price will usually result in a higher quantity demanded (at least for normal goods).  

Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.

B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books

C. Reorder point=987

Explanation:

a. In order To manage inventory, the company is using what is called Continuous review system

b. Calculation to find the order quality

Using this formula

Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)

Let plug in the morning

Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)

Order quantity = 2,049 Books

(138*358=49,404)

C. Calculation for reorder point

First step is to find the σL

73 % S.L. - z = 0.613

Using this formula to find the σL

σL = (Lσ^2)

Let plug in the formula

σL=√(7(13)^2)

σL= 34.39

Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula

R = d bar(L) + zσL

Let plug in the formula

Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)

Reorder point = 966+21

Reorder point=987

Answers

Answer: d. Married, filing separately.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Jeremy is married to Amy, who abandoned him in 2019 and that he has not seen or communicated with her since April of that year.

We are further told that he maintains a household in which their son, Evan, lives and that Evan is age 25 and earns over $6,000 each year.

Mcmurtry Corporation sells a product for $250 per unit. The product's current sales are 13,600 units and its break-even sales are 10,608 units. The margin of safety as a percentage of sales is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

22%

Explanation:

Margin of Safety is the amount by which sales can fall before making a loss.

Margin of Safety = Expected Sales - Break-even Sales ÷ Expected Sales

                           = (13,600 - 10,608) ÷ 13,600

                           = 0.22 or 22%

You recommend the following: We should discontinue our policy of reimbursing employees for meals and incidental expenses. In place of this policy, we should provide $100 daily stipends. This recommendation is best classified as what

Answers

Answer:

the options are missing:

Specific, actionable, and justified

Specific but not actionable and not justified

Specific and actionable but not justified

The answer is:

Specific, actionable, and justified

This proposition is very specific (it is the only thing that all three options agree upon).

In order for a recommendation to be actionable, it must be relevant and feasible.

This recommendation is feasible since 83% of the employees prefer the $100 stipend. It is also relevant because the company can save approximately $61 per employee per day.

This $61 savings per day per employee also makes this proposition justifiable since the company's employees travel a lot.

Reimbursement is the payment that the company does to its employees for their service. The proposal is Specific, actionable, and justified.

What is Reimbursement ?

It is the money paid to the employees/customer/parties for their services provided. It's a business expense and paid after complying with the tax rules.

The proposal is Specific, actionable, and justified.

The recommendation should be feasible to be actionable. It is feasible because 83% of employees agreed to the $100 stipend daily for meals and incidental expenses. And it is at the same time beneficial to the company, as it would save $61 per employee per day.

Therefore, it can be said that the above explanation aptly describes the statement.

Ida Company produces a handcrafted musical instrument called a gamelan that is similar to a xylophone. The gamelans are sold for $722. Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:

Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 23,000
Units sold 20,000
Units in ending inventory 3,000

Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $180
Direct labor $340
Variable manufacturing overhead $51
Variable selling and administrative $18

Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $940,000
Fixed selling and administrative $820,000

Required:
a. Assume that the company uses absorption costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.
b. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 940,000/23,000= $40.87

Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51 +40.87

Unitary production cost= $610.87

Variable costing:

Unitary production cost= 180 + 340 + 51

Unitary production cost=$571

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production and variable costs includes all variable production costs.

What are absorption costs?

Absorption costs, also known as absorption costs, are a management calculation method that combines both highly flexible and adjusted cost to produce a particular product.

Knowing the full cost of production per unit enables manufacturers to price their products.

Calculation of Production costs assuming that the method of Absorption costing:

[tex]\rm\,Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead= \dfrac{\$940,000}{23,000}\\\\Unitary \;Fixed \;Overhead== \$40.87 \;per \;unit\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost= (180 + 340 + 51 +40.87)\\\\Unitary \; Production \;Cost= \$610.87[/tex]

b) Calculation of production costs by variable costing method:

[tex]\rm\,Unitary \; Production \;Cost= (\$180 +\$340 + \$51)\\\\Unitary \;Production \;Cost=\$571[/tex]

Hence, The unit product cost for one gamelan by applying absorption costing is $610.87 and by variable costing is $571.

Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Answers

Answer:  7.86%

Explanation:

Using the Future Value formula;

= Amount * ( 1 + r)^n

The question is looking for the rate so making that the subject would be;

Assuming the car was $1 in 1893,

And n = 2009 - 1893 = 116 years

FV = Amount * ( 1 + r)^n

( 1 + r)^n = FV/  Amount

1 ^n + r^n = FV / Amount

r = n√((FV/ Amount) / 1^n)

r =  n√(FV/ Amount)

r =  116√(6,450/ 1)

= 1.07855

Subtract 1 for the percentage;

= 1.07855 - 1

= 7.86%

The rules regarding rental income of your house are simple. You must include all income that you earn from renting your house, condo, etc., if the total rental period for the year is more than 14 days (15 days or more). Since Phil only rented his house for 12 days, then he does not need to include it in his gross income.

Alice and Bob entered into a forward contract some time ago. Alice has the long position, while Bob has the short position. The forward contract will mature in three months and has a delivery price of $40. The current forward price for the contract is $42. The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) is 8%. What is the value Bob's position?

Answers

Answer:

$ - 1.96

Explanation:

After three months, Alice (long the contract) can buy the underlying by paying the delivery price of $40 which is $2 less than $42 the long position would have to pay if the contract was entered today.

DATA

Delivery price = $40

The three-month risk-free interest rate (with continuous compounding) =8%.

The current forward price = $42

Solution

So based on the present situation, Alice would be in $2 profit at the end of 3 months and Bob would be in $2 loss

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = 2\times e^{-0.08\times 0.25}

Present value of Bob's loss (with continuous compounding) = $1.96

The value of Bob's position is $ - 1.96
