Answer:
Income +/- inventory adjustment
2015: 138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000
2016: 254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000
2017: 168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000
Explanation:
Inventory Identity:
Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS
As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS
When the inventory is overstated this means COGS is understated.
We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.
When the inventory is understated this means COGS is overstated.
We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.
Read the following paragraph and copy and paste the sentence which contains the central idea:
The strength in global growth is broad-based across countries that growth has recently exceeded its post-crisis average across almost all major DM and EM countries. Among advanced economies, the three-month moving average of the CAI has been particularly strong in the Euro area and Sweden (around 2pp above their post-crisis average), Japan (1.3pp) and the US (1.1pp). A number of EM economies have recently outpaced their post-crisis average, although growth is likely still below potential in a number of emerging economies.
Answer:
The third sentence.
Explanation:
The third sentence contains the central idea of the passage/paragraph.
- A number of DM (Developed Market) economies have recently outpaced their post-crisis average, although growth is likely still below potential in a number of EM (Emerging Market) economies.
The first sentence somewhat defines "strength in global economic growth". The second sentence gives statistics, particularly on the quality of growth in advanced economies (DM economies).
The third sentence summarizes both points and clarifies that potential for growth is still existent in emerging economies.
Generating ideas often includes brainstorming or brainwriting. These techniques can be an effective way to produce the best ideas if they are done correctly. Read the scenario, and then identify how the brainstorming or brainwriting process could be improved. Jeanne, a girls’ outdoor adventure leader, created a meeting agenda to address a problem her troop had. Their cookie fundraiser was in trouble: The mint chocolate chip cookies were not selling. Jeanne wanted the girls to come up with new cookie ideas and innovative ways to sell them. The group began the session by yelling out cookie ideas ranging from real mud pies to snickerdoodles in the shape of a bear. It was an amazing session; everyone participated. The group came up with 50 new cookie ideas in less than 12 minutes, but they could remember only a few of them at the end of the meeting. To improve the group’s brainstorming, Jeanne should:_________
a. Use flip-charts and classify ideas
b. Create an agenda
c. Encourage out-of-the-box thinking
Choose whether the following situation represents crowdsourcing, crowd-storming, or crowdfunding. You own a local coffeeshop. Recently, you noticed that customers were doodling on your white paper cups. Intrigued, you set up a contest, and asked your customers to submit their best doodles to you. You chose your favorite doodle, and put it on a reusable cup. This is an example of:
a. Crowd-storming
b. Crowdsourcing
c. Crowdfunding
Answer:
1- a. Use flip-charts and classify ideas.
2) a. Crowd-storming.
Explanation:
1- To improve the group's brainstorm, Jeanne should use flipcharts and classify ideas.
Flipcharts is a whiteboard used as a visual resource, which allows the best visualization of graphics, new ideas, etc., in a dynamic and summarized way, since this visual resource attracts attention, records and helps in the fixing of content and central ideals.
2- The situation represents crowdstorming, which is a marketing strategy used when an organization wants to improve the services and products offered through interaction with groups of employees who can even be consumers, as in the case above.
This strategy helps in better brand positioning, by receiving direct feedbacks from the potential public, which helps in better meeting their wants and needs.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a leading international mining company of copper, gold, and molybdenum. Its revenues were over $16 billion with net income of nearly $2 billion in a recent year.
Assume that in February 2020, Freeport-McMoRan paid $800,000 for a mineral deposit in Indonesia. During March, it spent $70,000 in preparing the deposit for exploitation. It was estimated that 1,000,000 total cubic yards could be extracted economically. During 2020, 60,000 cubic yards were extracted. During January 2021, the company spent another $6,000 for additional developmental work that increased the estimated productive capacity of the mineral deposit.
Required:
a. Compute the acquisition cost of the deposit in 2020.
b. Compute depletion for 2020.
c. Compute the net book value of the deposit after payment of the January 2021 developmental costs.
Answer:
A. $ 870,000
B. $52,200
C. $823,800
Explanation:
a. Computation for acquisition cost.
Using this formula
Acquistion cost= 800,000 +70,000
Acquistion cost=$ 870,000
2. Computation for depletion
Depletion for 2020=
(870,000/1,000,000)*60,000
Depletion for 2020=0.87*60,000
Depletion for 2020= $52,200
3. Computation for the net book value
Net book value =$870,000 -$52,200 +$6,000
Net book value=$823,800
f Europe has a real GDP growth rate of 5%, and the United States has a real GDP growth rate of 6%, while money growth in Europe is 7%, and money growth in the United States is 5%, what would the monetary exchange rate model predict for exchange rates in the long run
Answer:
the dollar will appreciate by 3% against the euro
Explanation:
long run change in the exchange rate = (growth rate money supply Europe - growth rate money supply US) - (growth rate real GDP Europe - growth rate real GDP US) = (7% - 5%) - (5% - 6%) = 2% - (-1%) = 2% + 1% = 3%
This is a very simplistic approach to the monetary exchange rate model, but since we are given only this information, it's all that we can use.

In the official government National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), what component of investment includes purchases of new houses?
Answer:
Residential
Explanation:
National Income and Product Accounts often referred to as NIPA are a form of details obtained and released by the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce. The purpose is to depict the different elements of national income and output in the economy in a given period of time. However, under national product accounts, a component of investment that includes purchases of new houses is "RESIDENTIAL"
Assume that Ms. Sawyer's salary is $35,000, up from $31,000 last year, while the CPI is 187.5 this year, up from 180 last year. This means that Ms. Sawyer's real income has ____________ since last year.
Answer:
Increased
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told Ms. Sawyer's salary is the amount of $35,000, up from the amount of $31,000 last year which means that Ms. Sawyer's salary had INCREASED from $31,000 last year to $35,000 this year
Secondly we were told that the CPI is 187.5 this year which is up from 180 last year which means that Ms. Sawyer's CPI had INCREASED
from 180 last year to 187.5 this year.
Therefore this simply means that Ms. Sawyer's real income has INCREASED since last year.

The amount charged to expense as amortization of software intangible asset in 2021 was _$240,000_____. The estimated net realizable value of computer software is greater than the remaining unamortized software intangible asset.
Explanation:
The choice is for PC Software Inc. to follow the US GAAP rule, which states that development costs incurred for an internally-generated software should be capitalized only when the software is commercially feasible. Based on this, only 40% of the software expenditures are capitalized.
In 2010, Toyota recalled millions of automobiles to fix a potentially hazardous problem known as sudden acceleration. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, James Stewart gave investors the following advice: "Toyota shares were over $90 as recently as Jan. 19, 2010. They closed Tuesday (February 02, 2010) at $78.18, which strikes me as a modest decline under the circumstances. If I owned shares, I’d seize the chance to get out.
Required:
Would a believer in the efficient markets theory be likely to follow Stewart's advice?
Answer:
Of course not. Someone that believes in the efficient market theory (or hypothesis as it is generally called), believes that the market is always right. As an individual investor, you might be right or wrong, but the market as a whole has access to perfect information and the price of each stock already has been determined factoring all possible events and outcomes. I.e. the market's price is always the correct price and there is no way in which an individual investor can make a profit by buying or selling undervalued or overvalued stocks.
Personally, I disagree with this hypothesis, and the reason why most people call is a hypothesis is that they disagree with it. If the market is always right, then this theory is no good.
A company has the following aging schedule of its accounts receivable with the estimated percent uncollectible:______.
Age Group Amount Receivable Estimated Percent Uncollectible
Not yet due $ 175,000 4 %
0-60 days past due $ 40,000 10 %
61-120 days past due $ 10,000 30 %
More than 120 days past due $ 5,000 60 %
Assuming the balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is $3,000 (credit) before adjustment, which of the following would be recorded in the year-end adjusting entry?
Answer: $14,000
Explanation:
Estimated Uncollectible = (4% * 175,000) + ( 10% * 40,000) + ( 30% * 10,000) + (60% * 5,000)
= 7,000 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 3,000
= $17,000
The credit balance on the Allowance account will be used to account for some of the uncollectibles. The remaining amount will be the year-end adjusting entry;
= 17,000 - 3,000
= $14,000
All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.
Answer:
Option C would be the correct answer.
Explanation:
Throughout objective reasoning, cognitive bias seems to be a weakness that has been triggered by that of the human brain's propensity to interpret knowledge through a prism of individual perspective including interests. The types of cognitive bias but for the remaining change.
The types of cognitive bias are almost as follows:
Overconfidence biasConfirmation bias Halo effect Anchoring biasThe latter considerations provided are not closely linked to the case provided. So, the answer above is the right one.

CAM charges for retail leases in a shopping mall must be calculated. The retail mall consists of a total area of 2.8 million square feet, of which 800,000 square feet has been leased to anchor tenants that have agreed to pay $2 per rentable square foot in CAM charges. In-line tenants occupy 1.3 million square feet, and the remainder is a common area, which the landlord believeswill require $8 per square foot to maintain and operate each year. If the owner is to cover total CAM charges, how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot?
Answer:
$3.08 per square foot
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will in-line tenants have to pay per square foot
First step is to find the common area
Common area = 2,800,000−800,000−1,300,000 Common area= 700,000
Second step is to find Common area operating costs
Common area operating costs = 700,000×8
Common area operating costs= $5.6 million
Third step is to find the Operating costs charged to in-line tenants
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 5,600,000−800,000×2
Operating costs charged to in-line tenants = 4,000,000
Last step is to calculate the In-line CAM charges using this formula
In-line CAM charges=Operating costs charged to in-line tenants -In-line tenants square feet
Let plug in the formula
In-line CAM charges = 4,000,000 ÷ 1,300,000
In-line CAM charges= $3.08
Therefore the amount that in-line tenants have to pay per square foot will be $3.08 per square foot.
A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account
Answer:
$4068.77
Explanation:
We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8
FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0
FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000
FV= $29,946.46
We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46
PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r
PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10
29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008
PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008
PMT = 4068.768274257889
PMT = $4068.77
Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.
You are analyzing two companies that manufacture electronic toys--Like Games Inc. and Our Play Inc. Like Games was launched eight years ago, whereas Our Play is a relatively new company that has been in operation for only the past two years. However, both companies have an equal market share with sales of $200,000 each. You've gathered up company data to compare Like Games and Our Play. Last year, the average sales for industry competitors was $510,000. As an analyst, you want to make comments on the expected performance of these two companies in the coming year. You've collected data from the companies' financial statements. This information is listed as follows:
Like Games
Accounts receivable: 5,400
Net fixed assets: 110,000
Total assets: 190,000
Our Play
Accounts receivable: 7,800
Net fixed assets: 160,000
Total assets: 250,000
Industry Average
Accounts receivable: 7,700
Net fixed assets: 433,500
Total assets: 469,200
Using this information, complete the following statements in your analysis.
1. A _____ days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, _____ is collecting cash from its customers faster than _____, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is _____ than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is _____ that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is _____, which is _____, than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Answer:
1. A LOWER days of sales outstanding represents an efficient credit and collection policy. Between the two companies, LIKE GAMES is collecting cash from its customers faster than OUR PLAY, but both companies are collecting their receivables less quickly than the industry average.
2. Our Play's fixed assets turnover ratio is LOWER than that of Like Games. This could be because Our Play is a relatively new company, so the acquisition cost of it fixed assets is HIGHER that the recorded cost of Like Games's net fixed assets.
3. Like Games's total assets turnover ratios is 1.05, which is LOWER than the industry's average total assets turnover ratio. In general, a higher total assets turnover ratio indicates greater efficiency.
Explanation:
DSO = (accounts receivable / credit sales) x 365
DSO industry = (7,700 / 510,000) x 365 = 5.5 days
DSO Like Games = (5,400 / 200,000) x 365 = 9.9 days
DSO Our Play = (7,800 / 200,000) x 365 = 14.2 days
Fixed asset turnover ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
Fixed asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 433,500 = 1.18
Fixed asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 110,000 = 1.82
Fixed asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 160,000 = 1.25
Total asset turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets
Total asset turnover ratio industry = 510,000 / 469,200 = 1.09
Total asset turnover ratio Like Games = 200,000 / 190,000 = 1.05
Total asset turnover ratio Our Play = 200,000 / 250,000 = 0.8
The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives each economy's average annual growth rate during this period.

Dale takes out a loan of $8,000 with a 15.2% interest rate that is compounded semi-annually.
If he pays off the loan in 3 years, how much will he end up paying?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.
DO NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.
Answer:
$12,415.48
Explanation:
The formula for calculating compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^ n.
For Dale , FV = the amount he will pay?
PV = $8,000
r = 15.2%
n =3 years
Since interest is compounded semi-annually, the applicable r will be 15.2% divided by 2, n will be 3 years x 2
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1 + {15.2 %/ 2}^6
Fv = $8,000 x (1+ 7.6/100) ^ 6
Fv= $8,000 x ( 1.076) ^6
Fv = $8000 x 1.551934858492184
Fv=$12,415.482
Fv= $12,415.48
Dale will end up paying $12,415.48
Answer: 12,415.48
Explanation:
Use the compund interest formula for calculating the future value, A=P(1+rn)n⋅t where A is the unknown future value, P is the principal, so P=$8,000, r is the rate written as a decimal, so r=0.152, n is the number of periods of compounding which is 2 when compounded semi-annually,so n=2, and t is the time in years, so t=3. Substitute the values into the formula.
Use the compound interest formula and substitute the given values: A=$8,000(1+0.1522)2(3). Simplify using the order of operations: A=$8,000(1.076)6=$8,000(1.551935358)≈$12,415.48.
The Board acknowledges your analysis and agrees with your conclusion. They are now curious about how Charles Schwab can use strategies of a mature industry to increase its revenue. You present them two options. One is to implement a product proliferation strategy to establish a presence in the niches that the new entrants are targeting. This strategy has proven to be very successful in the past and can be a very timely advantage. Another plausible strategy is product development to enhance current products. Research shows that the current product line is still fresh in the consumers’ eyes. Which is the wiser choice?
Explanation:
Analyzing the two strategies, the wisest choice would be the product proliferation strategy to establish a presence in the niches that the new competitors are aiming for.
This strategy consists of increasing a company's product mix, in order to increase its positioning in the market through the conquest of new market shares, which consists in the increase of consumers and a greater competitiveness for the company in entering new niches.
The other product development strategy to improve current products may not be a good strategy at the moment, as we have information that the current product is still fresh in the eyes of consumers, so the product is growing, which means that consumers already know the product and there are growth rates in the purchase and repurchase of the product.
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 $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?
Answer:
I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:
Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500
they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)
contribution to IRA = ($2,500)
alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005
Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100
Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377
Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.
The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877
Refundable tax credits:
$2,000 in child tax credit
$2,900 in recovery rebate credit
total = $4,900
taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.
Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

e. Administer a work personality quiz to Tommy to see if there is another area in the store where he could move to, such as the produce department.
Answer: d. Cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa.
Explanation:
Since the quality of Tommy’s work has not suffered, but the store managers can tell that he is getting bored, the thing that could be done to keep him better engaged is to cross train the employees in the meat department, so beef cutters can learn how to cut pork and vice versa. Cross training helps the workers in the company appreciate the workers of others in other department and shows workers flexibility.

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson, president of the company, anticipates a 15 percent increase in the cost per unit of direct labor on January 1 of next year. He expects all other costs and expenses to remain unchanged. Wilson has asked you to assist him in developing the information he needs to formulate a reasonable product strategy for next year.
You are satisfied that volume is the primary factor affecting costs and expenses and have separated the semivariable costs into their fixed and variable segments. Beginning and ending inventories remain at a level of 1,000 units. Current plant capacity is 20,000 units. The following are the current-year data assembled for your analysis.
Sales price per unit $100
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $10
Direct labor $20
Manufacturing overhead and selling and administrative expenses 30 60
Contribution margin per unit (40%) $40
Fixed costs $390,000
Required:
a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?
b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?
c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.
Answer:
a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?
estimated production costs per unit:
direct materials $10
direct labor $23
overhead $30
total $63
if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = $105
to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%
b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?
if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)
units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = 20,000 units per year
c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.
working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%
capacity 20,000 capacity 25,000
sales revenue $2,000,000 $2,500,000
direct labor $460,000 $575,000
direct materials $200,000 $250,000
overhead $600,000 $750,000
fixed costs $390,000 $670,000
operating revenue $350,000 $255,000
The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.
