An internal control system consists of the policies and procedures managers use to protect assets, ensure reliable accounting, promote efficient operations, and uphold company policies. It can prevent avoidable losses and help managers both plan operations and monitor company and human performance. Principles of good internal control include establishing responsibilities, maintaining adequate records, insuring assets and bonding employees, separating recordkeeping from custody of assets, dividing responsibilities for related transactions, applying technological controls, and performing regular independent reviews.

Answer:
An effective internal control Auditors must evaluate internal controlsExplanation:
The Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) was passed in the aftermath of several accounting scandals that shook the business world including the Enron and Worldcom sagas. The Government then decided to implement tougher accounting requirements to ensure that such does not happen again.
One way that SOX does this is to require that companies maintain a robust and effective internal control system which are Auditor evaluated that will catch errors and false information more effectively.
Definition of economic costs
Darnell lives in Philadelphia and runs a business that sells pianos. In an average year, he receives $842,000 from selling pianos. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $452,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $38,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Darnell does not operate this piano business, he can work as an accountant and receive an annual salary of $48,000 with no additional monetary costs. No other costs are incurred in running this piano business.
Identify each of Darnell's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling pianos.

Explanation:
a) Data:
Sales Revenue = $842,000
Cost of goods sold 452,000
Wages & Utilities = 301,000
Opportunity cost of showroom = $38,000
Opportunity cost of employment = $48,000
Total opportunity cost = $86,000
Profit (Dollars)
Sales Revenue = $842,000
Cost of goods sold 452,000
Gross profit $390,000
Wages & Utilities = 301,000
Net Income $89,000
Opportunity cost of showroom = $38,000
Opportunity cost of employment = $48,000
Total opportunity cost = $86,000
Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30
d. $63.92
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity
Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity
General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800
Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240
General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170
Total allocated overhead= $29,210
Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47

On December 31, 2021, the end of the fiscal year, California Microtech Corporation completed the sale of its semiconductor business for $15 million. The semiconductor business segment qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $13 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $4.8 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $7.8 million. The income tax rate is 25%.
Prepare the lower portion of the 2021 income statement beginning with income from continuing operations before income taxes. Ignore EPS disclosures. (Amounts to be deducted and negative amounts should be indicated with a minus sign. Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions.)
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the lower portion is presented below:
Income from the continuing operation
before income tax $7,800,000
Less: Income tax expenses ($7,800,000 × 25%) (1,950,000)
Income from continuing operation(A) 5,850,000
Discontinued operation:
Loss from operation discontinued components
($15 - $13 - $4.8) ($2,800,000)
Income tax benefits ($2,800,000 × 25%) $700,000
Loss on discontinued operation(B) ($21,000,000)
Net loss (A - B) -$15,150,000
3. The last dividend paid by New Technologies was an annual dividend of $1.40 a share. Dividends for the next 3 years will be increased at an annual rate of 8 percent. After that, dividends are expected to increase by 3 percent each year. The discount rate is 16 percent. What is the current value of this stock
Answer:
$12.60
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:-
= $1.40 × (1.08) ÷ 1.16 + 1.40 × (1.08)^2 ÷ (1.16)^2 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 ÷ (1.16)^3 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 × (1.03) ÷ (0.16 - 0.03) × (1.16)^3
= $1.3034 + $1.2136 + $1.1299 + $8.9520
= $12.60
Therefore for computing the current value of stock we simply solved the above equation.
Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders
Remember, an agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In large corporations, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm’s executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the company’s shareholders. This usurping and reallocation of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm’s management.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
William and Abigail equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. William is responsible for ANB’s back-office activities, and Abigail staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision-making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. William, without Abigail’s knowledge, used the company’s bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. William has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business.
Is this a potential agency conflict between William and Abigail?
No; William and Abigail are both authorized to spend ANB’s money, so no conflict of interest can occur.
No; William and Abigail co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist.
Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
Yes; it should have been Abigail who purchased the car.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
Five years ago, Caesar created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Raleigh. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Raleigh. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Caesar’s family members, and selected outsiders. Caesar is TGZ’s chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder.
At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Caesar and TGZ’s management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group’s proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ’s value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ’s management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
No; Caesar was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm’s current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict.
Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm’s managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers’ objectives with the firm’s shareholder wealth?
Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.
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.
Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stock, direct shareholder intervention would be more or less likely to motivate the firm’s management.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely reduced or increased conflicts between managers and stockholders.
Answer:
1. Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
William is enriching himself at the expense of Abigail so indeed an Agency conflict exists.
2. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
An agency conflict arises only when the agent begins to act in a way that is not in the best interest of their principal and enriches themselves at the expense of their principal. This has not happened here so there is no agency conflict.
3. 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.
This way the manager will have an incentive to keep working for the benefit of the shareholders overtime because it would make them well off as well.
4. MORE LIKELY
When Institutional ownership is available like Pensions and Mutual funds, they will be able to put more pressure on management as they will typically own a larger share of shares while at the same time having the expertise required to influence management.
5. INCREASED CONFLICT.
One incentive that can be used to keep management in check is the risk of Hostile Takeovers and the new management can decide to fire the management for poor performance or selfish behavior. If Congress reduces the chances of hostile takeovers, management will be more likely to engage in agency conflicts.
This activity is important because as world trade has grown, more companies have entered the global market. Once a firm decides to enter the global market, it must choose which means of market entry is the most appropriate. The global market entry strategies vary greatly on the dimensions of financial commitment, risk, marketing control, and profit potential.
The goal of this exercise is to demonstrate your understanding of the different types of global market entry strategies: exporting, licensing, joint venture, and direct investment. Roll over each company name to read the description of the firm's strategy, then drop it onto the correct global market entry strategy within the graphic.

Piedmont Company segments its business into two regions—North and South. The company prepared the contribution format segmented income statement as shown:
Total Company North South
Sales $825,000 $550,000 $275,000
Variable expenses 495,000 385,000 110,000
Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000
Traceable fixed expenses 156,000 78,000 78,000
Segment margin 174,000 $87,000 $87,000
Common fixed expenses 69,000
Net operating income $105,000
Required:
a. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales.
b. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.
c. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.
Answer:
A. 562,500
B. 260,000
C. 130,000
Explanation:
First step is to find the Contribution margin ratio using this formula
Contribution margin ratio=Contribution margin÷Sales
Contribution margin 330,000 165,000 165,000
÷Divide by Sales 825,000 550,000 275,000
=Contribution margin ratio 40.00% 30.00% 60.00%
Second step is to find the Break even
Break even = Fixed expenses/Contribution margin ratio
1. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales.
Dollar sales for company to break-even=
(156,000+69,000)/40%
Dollar sales for company to break=225,000/40%
Dollar sales for company to break=562,500
2. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the North region
Dollar sales for North segment to break-even= Dollar sales for North segment to break-even=78,000/30%
Dollar sales for North segment to break-even=260,000
3. Computation for the break-even point in dollar sales for the South region
Dollar sales for South segment to break-even Dollar sales for South segment to break-even=78,000/60%
Dollar sales for South segment to break-even=130,000

At $0.31 per bushel, the daily supply for wheat is 306 bushels, and the daily demand is 459 bushels. When the price is raised to $0.79 per bushel, the daily supply increases to 546 bushels, and the daily demand decreases to 439 bushels. Assume that the price-supply and price-demand equations are linear. a. Find the price-supply equation.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
a) Find the price supply equation. b) Find the price demand equation. c) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
Solution:
a) A linear equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, y is a dependent variable, x is an independent variable, b is value of y at x = 0.
Let p represent the price and q represent the quantity. Hence we have the points (306, 0.31), (546, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{546-306} (q-306)\\\\p=0.002q-0.302[/tex]
b) Let p represent the price and q represent the demand. Hence we have the points (459, 0.31), (439, 0.79)
Using the formula:
[tex]p-p_1=\frac{p_2-p_1}{q_2-q_1}(q-q_1)\\ \\p-0.31=\frac{0.79-0.31}{439-459} (q-459)\\\\p=-0.024q+11.326[/tex]
c) At equilibrium, price supply equation = price supply equation
0.002q - 0.302 = -0.024q + 11.326
0.002q + 0.024q = 11.326 + 0.302
0.026q = 11.628
q = 447.23 bushels
p = 0.002q - 0.302 = 0.002(447.23) - 0.302
p = $1.2
Lambert Company acquired machinery costing $110,000 on January 2, 2019. At that time, Lambert estimated that the useful life of the equipment was 6 years and that the residual value would be $15,000 at the end of its useful life. Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2019, 2020, and 2021 using the:
Compute depreciation expense for this asset for 2016, 2017, and 2018 using the a. Straight-line method b. Double-declining balance method C. Assume that on January 2, 2018, Lambert revised its estimate of the useful life to 7 years and changed its estimate of the residual value to $ 10,000. What effect would this have on depreciation expense in 2018 for each of the above depreciation methods?
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
(a) Under straight-line method,
We have depreciation expense to be (cost - residual value) ÷ No of years =
=> ($110,000 - $15,000) ÷ 6 years = $15,833 yearly depreciation expense.
Hence, the year depreciation expense of $15,833 is applicable to all the Years 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Therefore, sum of depreciation for all the three years is calculated as
=> $15,833 * 3 years = $47,499.
(b) Under the double-declining method
We have = 2 * SLDP * BV
Where SLDP = Straight - Line Depreciation Percentage
BV = Book value
Hence, SLDP is 100% ÷ 6 years = 16.67%,
Thus, 16.67% * 2 => 33.33%
Therefore, Year 2016, 33.33% * $110,000 = $36,663
For Year 2017, 33.33% * $73,337 ($110,000 - $36,663) = $24,443
For Year 2018, 33.33% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $16,296
Adding all the three Years together => 2016 to 2018, => $77,402
(c) Given that after 2 years, the revised estimated useful life becomes 7 years and the residual value is $10,000, depreciation would be calculated as follows:
Under the straight-line method,
NBV = Net Book Value, at the end of 2017 is: $110,000 - $15,833 * 2 years = $78,334
Depreciation expense is therefore: ($78,334 - $10,000) ÷ 7 years = $9,762 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Also,
Under the double-declining method,
SLDP is 100% ÷ 7 years = 14.29%, * 2 => 28.57%.
For Year 2018,
28.57% * $48,894 ($73,337 - $24,443) = $13,969 (decrease in 2018 yearly depreciation charge)
Answer:
the question is incomplete, so I looked for a similar question:
the requirements are:
calculate depreciation expense using straight line, double depreciation, sum of the years' digits methods
straight line depreciation:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
depreciation expense per yer = $95,000 / 6 = $15,833.33
depreciation expense 2019 = $15,833depreciation expense 2020 = $15,833depreciation expense 2021 = $15,834double declining balance:
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 2/6 = $36,667depreciation expense 2020 = ($110,000 - $36,667) x 2/6 = $24,444depreciation expense 2021 = ($73,333 - $24,444) x 2/6 = $16,296sum of the years' digits method:
depreciable value = $110,000 - $15,000 = $95,000
sum of years = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 years
depreciation expense 2019 = $110,000 x 6/21 = $31,429depreciation expense 2020 = $110,000 x 5/21 = $26,190depreciation expense 2021 = $110,000 x 4/21 = $20,952At the beginning of the year, Monroe Company estimates annual overhead costs to be $500,000 and that 250,000 machine hours will be operated. Using machine hours as a base, the amount of overhead applied during the year if actual machine hours for the year was 150,000 hours is A.$500,000. B.$300,000. C.$600,000. D.$150,000.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $300,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated annual overhead costs= $500,000
Estimated machine-hour= 250,000
Actual machine-hour= 150,000
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= 500,000/250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 2*150,000= $300,000
Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:
Answer:
539,000.00
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.
For Etuck327,
The selling price is $39
Variable expense is $28
Break-even in units is 49,000 books.
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs
=$39- $28
=$11
if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then
49,000= fixed cost / 11
fixed costs = 11 x 49000
Fixed costs = 539,000.00

I. Equity multiplier = assets / equity
2014 = $398,011 / $262,256 = 1.52
2015 = $434,000 / $291,576 = 1.49
J. Times interest earned = EBIT / interest expense
= $81,060 / $15,300 = 5.3
K. Cash coverage ratio = (EBIT + non cash expenses) / interest expense
= ($81,060 + $27,200) / $15,300 = 7.08
Profitability ratios:
L. Profit margin = net income / sales
= $49,320 / $349,760 = 0.14
M. Return on assets = net income / average total assets
= $49,320 / [($398,011 + $434,000)/2] = 0.12
N. Return on equity = net income / average total equity
= $49,320 / [($262,256 + $291,576)/2] = 0.18
To increase a company’s performance, a manager suggests that the company needs to increase the value of its product to customers. Describe three ways in which this advice might be incorrect
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation of the advice that represents three ways which can be considered as an incorrect is as follows
1. If the amount is rises than it cannot change the commodities or goods cost
2. In case when the customer is ready for paying than in this case the value of the amount rises
3. Also when the amount of the customer rises so the performance would remains constant without considering the rise in the profit.
Consider the following data on U.S. GDP:
Year Nominal GDP (Billions of dollars) GDP Deflator (Base year 2009)
2015 17,947 109.8
1995 7,664 75.3
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____, and the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1995 and 2015 was _____.
Measured in 2009 prices, real GDP was _____ billion in 1995 and _____ billion in 2015.
The growth rate of real GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____.
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____ than the growth rate of real GDP.
Answer:
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 4.35%
Growth rate over a period is calculated as;
= 100 * (((Current variable/initial variable)^1/n) - 1)
= 100 * (((17,947 / 7,664) ^1/20) -1)
= 4.35%
Growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1995 and 2015 was 1.90%.
= 100 * (((109.8/75.3)^1/20) -1)
= 1.90%
Measured in 2009 prices, real GDP was $ 10,177.95 billion in 1995 and $ 16,345.17 billion in 2015.
Real GDP = (Nominal GDP / GDP Deflator) * 100
1995 = (7,664/75.3) * 100
= $ 10,177.95
2015 = (17,947/109.8) * 100
= $ 16,345.17
The growth rate of real GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 2.397% .
= 100 x (((16,345.17 / 10,177.95)^1/20) -1)
= 2.397%
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was more than the growth rate of real GDP.
Nominal GDP growth was 4.35% whilst Real GDP was 2.397%.
