because im a grade 3Clark's Chemical Company received refundable deposits on returnable containers in the amount of $102,000 during 2021. Thirteen percent of the containers were not returned. The deposits are based on the container cost marked up 35%. What is cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Answer:
$9,822
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷(100+35%)
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷ 135% =
Cost of goods sold=$13,260÷135%
Cost of goods sold=$9,822
Therefore the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture is $9,822

g If the Fed were to set policy according to the Taylor rule, then if real GDP falls by 2 percent below potential GDP, the Fed should Multiple Choice raise the real federal funds rate by 1 percentage point. reduce the real federal funds rate by 1 percentage point. raise the inflation rate by 1 percentage point. change the real federal funds rate until inflation hits the target rate of 4 percent.
Answer: reduce the real federal funds rate by 1 percentage point
Explanation:
According to the Taylor Rule, the Fed should use monetary policy to stimulate the economy when it dips below the potential GDP.
One way it can do this is to reduce interest rates. This will make the cost of borrowing less and convince both people and businesses to borrow money. They can then spend and invest this money which would contribute to both consumption and investment spending thereby ultimately increasing GDP.
They can reduce interest rates by reducing the federal funds rate.

The currency in Macroland is called econs. In Macroland, the public holds 2,000 econs in currency; commercial bank reserves are 300 econs; and the desired reserve-to-deposit ratio of the commercial banks is 10%. If the Central Bank of Macroland prints an additional 200 econs and uses this new currency to buy government bonds from the public, the money supply in Macroland will ____, assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds from before.
Answer:
D)5,000; 7,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The total bank deposit would be
= (300 ÷ 0.10) + 2,000
= 3,000 + 2,000
= 5,000
In the case when the reserve ratio is 10% so the money multiplier would be 10
Since there is extra inflow of currency so by having the multiplier effect it would be 2000 econs
Now first it is 5,000 econ than it would become 7,000 econ
If there is an additional inflow of currency because of printing 200 econs by central bank then because of multiplier effect it will be 2000 econs.
Money supply from earlier 5000 econs will become 7000 econs.

a. In 1981, he received land worth $32,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $35,000. Roberto sells the land for $95,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
b. In 1986, he received stock in Gold Company. The donor's adjusted basis was $19,000. The fair market value on the date of the gift was $34,000. Roberto sells the stock for $40,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
c. In 1992, he received land worth $15,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $20,000. Roberto sells the land for $9,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
d. In 2013, he received stock worth $30,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $42,000. Roberto sells the stock for $38,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $95000 - $35000
= $60000
Gain of $60000 will be recognized
b. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $40000 - $19000
= $21000
Gain of $21000 is recognized
c. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $9000 - $15000
= -$6000
Loss of $6000 is recognized
d. In this case, no gain or loss will be recognized.

On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $650,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $71,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
Answer:
$5.31
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
where,
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :
Net Income $650,000
Less Preference Stock dividend ($71,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $579,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding 100,000
Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2) 9,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 109,000
therefore,
Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷ 109,000
= $5.31
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Laura, a sales manager at Dexter Inc., claims that labor and management are rivals for most organizations. Brooke, the HR manager, says she is aware of exceptions. Which statement best supports Brooke's perspective? Question 34 options: After the 1980s, most unions and organizations have acted more like adversaries. Examples of cooperation between labor and management include employee involvement in decision making and self-managing teams. Finding win-win solutions is almost impossible because unions and management have conflicting goals. Organizations often define jobs narrowly, which is a sign of cooperation. Creating a union necessarily forces employers to pay more wages, which results in loss of profits.
Answer:
Dexter Inc.
The statement that best supports Brooke's perspective is:
Examples of cooperation between labor and management include employee involvement in decision making and self-managing teams.
Explanation:
When labor and management act as rivals or adversaries, it does not benefit their organizations. They should find common grounds for cooperation. Organizations should involve their employees in more decision-making. Despite their incongruent goals, unions and management should find win-win solutions. Paying employees a living wage does not impoverish the organization. On the contrary, everybody is greatly enriched.
A project has a discount rate of 14 percent, an initial cost of $99,200, an inflow of $56,400 in year 1 and an inflow of $75,900 in year 2. Your boss requires that every project return a minimum of $1.10 for every $1 invested. Based on this information, what is your recommendation on this project?
Answer:
I would recommend the project because the return is greater than 10%
Explanation:
We are to determine the internal rate of return of the project
rate of return the boss requires = (1.1 /1) - 1 = 10%
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = -99200
cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 75900
IRR = 33.7%
Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighborhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $150 per month to Jill. The competitive wage for a security guard is $120 per month, and irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighborhood. Furthermore, suppose Jack earns $1,000 per month and Jill earns $11,000 per month.
Required:
a. What is the most a guard can charge per month and still be assured of being hired by at least one of them?
b. Suppose the competitive wage for a security guard is $120 per month. The local government proposes a plan whereby Jack and Jill each pays 50 percent of this monthly fee, and asks them to vote on this plan. Will the plan be voted in? Would economic surplus be higher if the neighborhood had a guard?
Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. The most a guard can charge per month and still be assured of being hired by at least one of them = $120
b. The vote will be 50 - 50. The local authority will decide since there is a 50 - 50 chance.
The economic surplus would be higher if the neighborhood had a guard by $80 ($200 - $120).
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard to Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard to Jill = $150 per month
Total value = $200 per month
Competitive wage for a security guard = $120 per month
After comparing the manufacturing costs in the United States and in offshore locations, Alpha Manufacturing has decided to move its operations offshore to increase its profits by reducing manufacturing costs. In the given scenario, Alpha Manufacturing has most likely conducted a ______, a form of utilitarianism commonly applied by firms and government.
Answer:
Cost-benefit analysis.
Explanation:
Cost-benefit analysis is used to examine and compare the cost associated with a project or task and the benefits derived from it.
In the given scenario, Alpha Manufacturing has most likely conducted a cost-benefit analysis, a form of utilitarianism commonly applied by firms and government. Also, it is essentially used by various organizations or business firms in the decision-making process, as all the cost incurred are determined.
Additionally, it may be used to determine how changes in differing levels of activities such as costs and volume affect a company's operating income and net income.
Fixed costs can be defined as predetermined expenses in a business that remain constant for a specific period of time regardless of the quantity of production or level of outputs. Some examples of fixed costs in business are loan payments, employee salary, depreciation, rent, insurance, lease, utilities etc.
Waldo Company has been approached about providing a new service to its clients. The company will bill clients $160 per hour; the related hourly variable and fixed operating costs will be $70 and $24, respectively. If all employees are currently working at full capacity on other client matters, the per-hour opportunity cost of being unable to provide this new service is:
Answer:
$90 per hour
Explanation:
Opportunity cost means the benefit one have forgone, for choosing another alternative. Opportunity cost of being unable to provide new service = Billing price - Variable cost per hour. Here, fixed cost is not considered because it will be incurred irrespective of the capacity of working.
So, Opportunity cost = $160 - $70 = $90 per hour
ABC Motors ordinarily deals in used cars and does some amount of repair work. Robby entrusted his automobile to ABC Motors to have the oil changed and get new brakes. The car was parked in the lot along with other cars, some of which were for sale. The manager of ABC Motors accidentally sold the car to Connie because she saw it and took it upon herself to offer a good price. The manager was attempting to increase the shop's profit margin. Connie had no idea that the car did not belong to ABC Motors. When Robby went to pick up the car, he was very upset that it was gone. The manager told Robby that he was very sorry, but that he was not negligent and only made an honest mistake. According to the manager, Robby accepted the risk of this type of loss, and his only recourse was against Connie. Which of the following is true regarding the manager's statement that Robby's only recourse is against Connie?
a. The manager is correct.
b. The manager is correct only if Connie's deal was for less than 10% of the fair market value of the car.
c. The manager is incorrect only if Robby has a writing signed by a representative of the repair shop guaranteeing the safety of the car.
d. Because the sale to Connie was an accident, the manager is correct only if Connie can be found and served with process.
e. The manager is incorrect.
Answer: e. The manager is incorrect.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the statement that's true regarding the manager's statement that Robby's only recourse is against Connie is that the manager is incorrect.
It should be noted that Connie wasn't aware that the car didn't belong to ABC motors thereby Robby's only recourse is not against Connie. The manager should be able to protect the vehicles brought to the company. In this case, the company is liable and Robby can take up a case against them.
Therefore, the correct option is E

Locke Inc has a machine that installs tires. The machine is now in need of repair. The machine originally cost $10,000 and the repair will cost $1,000, but the machine will then last two years. The labor cost of operating the machine is $0.50 per tire. Instead of repairing the old machine, Locke could buy a new machine at a cost of $5,000 that would also last 2 years; the labor cost would then be reduced to $0.25 per tire.
Required:
Should Williams repair or replace the machine if it is installing 10,000 tires in the next two years?
Answer: William should replace the machine with a new one because over that 2 year span he will be losing less money, if he were to repair he would lose more money.

On January 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $295,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $20,000. The equipment is expected to produce 280,000 units during its life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods.
a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
b. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.
Answer:
a.
2021 = $50,000
2022 = $45,000
b.
2021 = $275,000
2022 = $0
Explanation:
a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
Sum of digits for the 10 years will be :
Year 1 = 10
Year 2 = 9
Year 3 = 8
Year 4 = 7
Year 5 = 6
Year 6 = 5
Year 7 = 4
Year 8 = 3
Year 9 = 2
Year 10 = 1
Sum of Digits = 55
therefore,
2021 depreciation = 10/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $50,000
2022 depreciation = 9/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $45,000
b. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.
2021 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $412,500
Can not be charged above book value of $275,000
2022 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000- $412,500)
= $0

Explanation:
NuPress Valet has a proposed investment with an initial cost of $62 million and cash flows of $12.5 million for 5 years. Debt represents 44 percent of the capital structure. The cost of equity is 13.7 percent, the pretax cost of debt is 8.5 percent, and the tax rate is 34 percent. What is the company’s WACC?
Answer:
WACC= 10.14%
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of all of the long-term types of finance used by a company weighted according to the that amount of finance used in relation to the total pool of fund.
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
After-tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt× (1-tax rate)
Kd-After-tax cost of debt
Ke-Cost of equity
Wd-Weight f debt
We-Weight of equity
After tax cost of debt = (1-T)× Before-tax yield on debt
= (1-0.34)× 8.5%
=5.61%
Cost of equity = 13.7%
WACC = (Wd×Kd) + (We×Ke)
We= 100-44=56%, Wd= 44%
WACC= (5.61%× 44%) + (13.7%× 56%)
= 10.14%
WACC= 10.14%
Firm B Firm T Shares outstanding 4,800 1,800 Price per share $ 47 $ 20 Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic benefits from acquiring Firm T is $9,100. Firm T can be acquired for $22 per share in cash or by exchange of stock wherein B offers one of its shares for every two of T's shares. Are the shareholders of Firm T better off with the cash offer or the stock offer? Cash offer is better Share offer is better At what exchange ratio of B shares to T shares would the shareholders in T be indifferent between the two offers? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
Answer:
A. Share Offer Is Better
B. .4569
Explanation:
A. Based on the information given the shareholders of Firm T will be better off with the STOCK OFFER because cash offer is the amount of $22 per share.
B. Calculation to determine the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares
First step is to calculate the New shares created
New shares created = 1,800(1/2)
New shares created = 900 new shares
Second step is to calculate the value of the merged firm
Value of the merged firm= 4,800($47) + 1,800($20) + $9,100
Value of the merged firm= $270,700
Third step is to calculate the price per share of the merged firm
Price= $270,700/(4,800 + 900)
Price= $270,700/5,700
Price= $47.49
Fourth step is to calculate the Equity offer value
Equity offer value = (1/2)($47.49)
Equity offer value = $23.75 per share
Fifth step is to calculate the post merger share price
Value of the merged firm= $270,700
Shares in new firm = 4,800 + 1,800x
Hence:
Post merger share price:
P= $270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x)
Sixth step
For the target firm’s shareholders to be indifferent which means they have to receive the same wealth
Hence;
1,800(x)P= 1,800($22)
Let solve this equation for P
P= $22/x
Now Let Combine the two equations
$270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x) = $22/x
x= .4569
Seventh step is to calculate the NPV
NPV = 1,800($20) + $9,100 – 1,800($22)
NPV = $5,500
Eight step is to calculate the Share price
Share price = [4,800($47) + $5,500]/4,800
Share price = $48.15
Now let calculate the Exchange ratio
Exchange ratio = $22/$48.15
Exchange ratio = .4569
Therefore the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares that the shareholders in T would be indifferent between the two offers is .4569
