You are auditing a bank, and someone provides you with an anonymous tip that an employee is embezzling money from the bank. You decide to investigate the allegation Your interviews with other bank employees confirm that the suspected embezzler has been acting very strange lately. Some employees have seen the employee crying in the bathroom and acting strange in other ways. The bank recently downsized due to poor economic growth, yet the suspect recently bought a new Lexus. Based on some "helpful" hints from bank employees and through your own investigation, you discover that the mortgage taken out by the suspect three years ago for his personal home has recently been paid in full After calculating the suspect's net worth, you deter- mine that he has about $249,000 in income from unknown sources this year alone.
Required:
a. What are possible explanations for why the suspect (1) is experiencing emotional changes and (2) has had an increase in unknown income?
b. Can you conclude from these facts that the suspect has indeed been committing fraud?
Solution :
a). The suspect may experience some emotional changes that are not necessarily due to a scandal or scam. We need to establish that the proper figures and facts are to be analyzed before reaching the conclusion. But however, the primary conclusion is that something is going on on the suspect's mind that needs to be further dealing. (2) increment in the income needs to be validated and also proper root cause of the changes should be analyzed.
b). No from the above facts we cannot conclude that the suspect had committed financial frauds. For this a full proof validation of the facts and the evidences are required for a solid conclusion for helding the suspect for committing financial frauds. Hence further investigation is needed for deriving a conclusion.

(1 point) Why does the journalist think Enron's stock is overvalued?
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I provided some explanation.
Explanation:
Note, in the stock/asset trading market, the term 'stock/asset is overvalued' is used when the worth of a particular asset or stock is overestimated; in other words having a stock price that is too high considering the projects/company's usefulness.
Hence, the journalist's comments may have been based on this observation.
Conciseness of messe refers
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Conciseness is an important attribute needed in other to attain or communicate effectively. We could think of being concise as having to pass a message or communicate in the simplest possible form without jeopardizing other important elements or attributes needed to communicate effectively. Conciseness eliminates having to go back and forth as well as the use of verbose sentences, unnecessarily long sentences or grammar as one intends to pass a message. Rather, employs the usage of simple, clear cut and minimum possible wordings necessary for the receiver to understand the message being passed across.
Dividends on CCN corporation are expected to grow at a 9% per year. Assume that the discount rate on CCN is 12% and that the expected dividend per share in one year is $0.50. CCN has just paid a dividend, so the next dividend is the $0.50 to be paid one year from now. Calculate the expected price per share 14 years from now. Assume that a dividend has just been paid.
Answer:
P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded off to $55.70
Explanation:
The constant growth model of dividend discount model (DDM) can be used to calculate the price of the stock today. DDM calculates the price of a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under constant growth DDM is,
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
Where,
D1 is the dividend expected in Year 1 or next year g is the constant growth rate in dividends r is the discount rate or required rate of return
To calculate the price of the share today, we use the dividend that is expected next year or in Year 1. Thus, to calculate the price of the share 14 years from now, we use use D15. The D15 can be calculated as follows,
D15 = D1 * (1+g)^14
D15 = 0.50 * (1+0.09)^14
D15 = $1.67086351362 rounded off to $1.67
Now using the equation for Price as provided by the DDM model,
P14 = 1.67086351362 / (0.12 - 0.09)
P14 = $55.69545045394 rounded off to $55.70
Bonita, Inc. uses activity-based costing as the basis for information to set prices for its six lines of seasonal coats.
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Activity
Designing $452,795 11,900 designer hours
Sizing and cutting 4,231,150 157,000 machine hours
Stitching and trimming 1,501,000 79,000 labor hours
Wrapping and packing 327,050 31,000 finished units
Required:
Compute the activity-based overhead rates using the following budgeted data for each of the activity cost pools.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Designing= 452,795 / 11,900= $38.05 per designer hour
Sizing and cutting= 4,231,150 / 157,000= $36.95 per machine hour
Stitching and trimming= 1,501,000 / 79,000= $19 per labor hour
Wrapping and packing= 327,050 / 31,000= $10.55 per finished unit
You are the price manager at a restaurant that, for customer relations reasons, can reset its prices (reprint menus) no more than once every two years. Because you want prices that are competitive but cover costs with as much of a profit margin to spare as possible, you require as accurate a prediction of inflation over the next two years as possible.
What would be your best method of predicting inflation?
a. Take the forecast of the economist with the best track record of predicting inflation.
b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.
c. Consult the University of Michigan survey of inflation expectations among the public.
d. Take the average inflation forecast across many professional economists.
Answer:
My best method of predicting inflation as the price manager at a restaurant is:
b. Look to the yields of inflation swaps.
Explanation:
An inflation swap is a financial derivative contract that transfers inflation risk between two parties. Inflation swap yields can provide a more accurate estimation of the future inflation rates than relying on the predictions of individual economists. This method is widely used by finance professionals to hedge or reduce inflation risk and set long-term prices.

8. Imagine a private company decides to sponsor an event in exchange for publicity. Give an example of when a sponsorship could have a negative result for the sponsoring company.
Answer:
Political events like a candidate rally are particularly tricky for companies, and sponsoring them could result in a lot of consumer backlash, specially from the people who are not affiliated to the sponsored politician or political party.
This is why many companies avoid political sponsorships or political statements, because politics is a very divisive issue, and while such an action could earn the company the loyal following of a few, it could also discourage a lot more people from ever buying their products.

Sara is about to graduate high school. She has saved money the last few years while working a part-time job. Her parents bought her a car when she turned 16, but her younger brother is about to turn 16 and her parents have promised him the car when he turns 16. This means Sara must buy a car on her own. She has about $6,000 saved, and she received another $1,000 in graduation gifts. She wants to buy a reliable car that will last her throughout college. She has spotted a Honda Accord with low miles, but the asking price is $15,000.
Required:
Which banking service is Sara most interested in?
Answer:
Loan services
Explanation:
Based on the information given in a situation where She has the saved amount of $6,000 as well as the amount of $1,000 she received in graduation gifts which means that she will have $7,000 ($6,000+$1,000), Now if She wants to buy a car that is reliable in which the asking price of the car is the amount of $15,000 which means that Sara still need the amount of $8,000 ($15,000-$7,000) to balance the already saved amount of $7,000. Based on this the banking service that she most interested in is LOAN SERVICE reason been that this banking service will enable her to acquire the loan amount of $8,000 ($15,000-$7,000) in order for her to buy the Honda Accord she spotted.
Therefore the banking service that Sara is most interested in is LOAN SERVICES

Jane was employed by ABC Construction Company as a forklift operator. She noticed that the foreman was taking shortcuts on some of the trenching which caused a dangerous condition that could possibly cause injury to employees who were close to the area of the trench. Jane was not at risk of being hurt by the shortcut in the trenching operation. Jane refused to do the work because of her belief that the trenching work was not being done in a safe manner. Jane was told to punch out and go home. Jane would like to file a claim against her employer.
We will be conducting a classroom debate on this case. Presume you have been hired to represent either the Jane or ABC Construction in this case (students are assigned by their last name see below). Provide the class in your initial response a statement as to why your client’s position is correct. For those representing ABC Construction, explain why the company was within its rights to send Jane home without pay. For those representing the employee Jane, explain why she is justified in refusing to do work in light of a dangerous condition on the worksite.
Answer:
According to the OSHA act, Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.
Explanation:
I would be representing Jane and will be following the debate in light of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) act. According to the OSHA act, employers are responsible for the provision of a safe and healthy workplace to their employees. Failing to do so could lead to a refusal. According to the section of the OSHA act, An employee has the right to refuse to work, if all of the below-mentioned conditions are met:
A real and imminent danger of serious injury or death exists in the workplace. Where possible the employee has asked the employer to eliminate the danger. The employer has failed to eliminate the danger. The employee refuses to work because the employee believes, in good faith, that there is an imminent danger of serious injury or death.As the foreman of ABC construction was using shortcuts in trenching and thus stigmatized the trenching. This could lead to a dangerous situation for the area of the trench leading to its collapse. This is an indication of imminent danger and thus the employee in the area of the trench has a serious threat to his/her life Thus Jane is right in her claim to refuse to work until safe working conditions are provided.
Murray Exports (U.S.) exports heavy crane equipment to several Chinese dock facilities. Sales are currently 10,000 units per year at the yuan equivalent of $24,000 each. The Chinese yuan (renminbi) has been trading at Yuan8.20/$, but a Hong Kong advisory service predicts the renminbi will drop in value next week to Yuan9.00/$, after which it will remain at that rate for the foreseeable future. Based onthis forecast, Murray Exports faces a pricing decision in the face of the impending devaluation. It may either (1) maintain the same yuan price and in effect sell for fewer dollars, in which case Chinese volume will not change; or (2) maintain the same dollar price, raise the yuan price in China to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in unit volume. In both cases, direct costs per unit are 75% of the current U.S. sales price of $24,000.
A. What would be the short-run(one-year) impact of each pricing stragety?
B. Which do recommend?
Answer:
Murray Exports (U.S.)
A. The short-run impact of each pricing strategy is as follows:
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $21,867 Maintain Price at $24,000
Gross profit $38,670,000 $54,000,000
Reduction in Gross Profit $21,330,000 $6,000,000
B. (2) maintain the same dollar price of $24,000, raise the yuan price in China to Yuan 216,000 per unit to offset the devaluation, and experience a 10% drop in sales unit volume.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Current exchange rate = Yuan 8.20/US$
Current exports of heavy crane equipment per year to China = 10,000
US unit price of printer in dollars = $24,000
Chinese unit price of crane equipment in Yuan equivalent = Yuan 196,800 ($24,000 * Yuan 8.20)
Unit price of crane equipment in Chinese Yuan when the currency is devalued = Yuan 216,000 ($24,000 * Yuan 9.00)
The reduced dollar price with devaluation, when Yuan price is maintained = $21,867 (Yuan 196,800/9.00)
Before Devaluation of Chinese Yuan:
Sales volume 10,000
Sales revenue $240,000,000 (10,000 * $24,000)
Direct costs 180,000,000 (10,000 * $18,000) (75% of $24,000)
Gross profit $60,000,000
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Reduce Price to $21,867 Maintain Price at $24,000
Sales volume 10,000 units 9,000 (10,000 * 90%) units
Sales revenue $218,670,000 $216,000,000 ($24,000 * 9,000)
Direct costs 180,000,000 162,000,000 ($18,000 * 9,000)
Gross profit $38,670,000 $54,000,000 ($6,000 * 9,000)
Direct costs = $180m ($18,000 * 10,000) = $162m ($18,000 * 9,000)
Dary Co. Produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $28 per unit. The variable costs are $18 per unit. Fixed costs are $20,000 for a normal production run of 5,000 units per month. Dary received a request for a special order that would not interfere with normal sales. The order was for 1,500 units and a special price of $17.50 per unit. Dary Co. has the capacity to handle the special order and, for this order, a variable selling cost of $2 per unit would be eliminated.
1. If the order is accepted, what would be the impact on net income?
a. decrease of $750
b. decrease of S6,750
c. increase of $2,250
d. increase of $1,500
2. Should the special order be accepted?
a. Cannot determine from the data given
b. Yes
c. No
d. There would be no difference in accepting or rejecting the special order.
Answer:
1. c. increase of $2,250
2. b. Yes
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine what would be the impact on net income if the order is accepted
First step is to calculate the variable cost
Variable cost special order= ($18-$2)
Variable cost special order=$16
Now let calculate what would be the impact on net income if the order is accepted
Impact on net income=($17.50-$16)*1,500 units
Impact on net income=$1.50*1,500 units
Impact on net income= increase of $2,250
2. YES the special order should be accepted.
One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both. is the only structure that organizes employees around specific knowledge or other resources. uses self-directed work teams rather than individuals as the basic building block of organizations. is an alliance of several organizations for the purpose of creating a product or serving a client.
Answer:
overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.
Explanation:
An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.
Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;
I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).
II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.
III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.
A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.
These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.
A matrix organizational structure is a type work structure where reporting relationships between employees are set up as a matrix rather than the conventional hierarchy approach. This simply means, there are two (2) chains of command; employees have dual reporting relationships to both a project and functional manager.
The matrix organizational structure can be classified into three (3) categories, these are;
1. Weak matrix structure.
2. Balanced matrix structure.
3. Strong matrix structure.
One of the defining characteristics of a matrix organizational structure is that it overlays two organizational structures in order to leverage the benefits of both.

Alpha Communications, Inc., which produces telecommunications equipment in the United States, has a very strong local market for its circuit board. The variable production cost is $130, and the company can sell its entire supply domestically for $170. The U.S. tax rate is 40 percent. Alternatively, Alpha can ship the circuit board to its division in Germany, to be used in a product that the German division will distribute throughout Europe. Information about the German product and the division’s operating environment follows.
Selling price of final product: $360
Shipping fees to import circuit board: $20
Labor, overhead, and additional material costs of final product: $115
Import duties levied on circuit board (to be paid by the German division): 10% of transfer price
German tax rate: 60%
Assume that U.S. and German tax authorities allow a transfer price for the circuit board set at either U.S. variable manufacturing cost or the U.S. market price. Alpha’s management is in the process of exploring which transfer price is better for the firm as a whole.
Required:
1. Compute overall company profitability per unit if all units are transferred and U.S. variable manufacturing cost is used as the transfer price. Show separate calculations for the U.S. operation and the German division.
2. Repeat requirement (1). assuming the use of the U.S. market price as the transfer price. Which of the two transfer prices is better for the firm?
3. Assume that the German division can obtain the circuit board in Germany for $155.
a. If you were the head of the German division, would you rather do business with your U.S. division or buy the circuit board locally? Why?
b. Rather than proceed with the transfer, is it in the best interest of Alpha to sell its goods domestically and allow the German division to acquire the circuit board in Germany? Why? Show computations to support your answer.
Answer:
1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board with US Share as $0 and German Share as $32.80.
2-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. market price, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $39.20 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $15.20. The transfer price as US market price is more effective for the Alpha Communications.
3:a- If the German division can obtain the boards in Germany for 155, it is better for the German division because due to lack of additional shipping fee and import duty, this price is more feasible for the German division.
3:b- If the company decide to sell the US circuit boards locally and allow German division to obtain the circuit boards in Germany, then Alpha Communication will have a profit of $60 per circuit board with US Share as $24 and German Share as $36.
Explanation:
1-If the transfer price is set equal to the U.S. variable manufacturing cost, Alpha Communications will have a profit of $32.80 per circuit board. The calculations are as follows:

Last year Chilton manufactured 20,000 lamps, used 160,000 machine hours and incurred actual overhead costs of $192,000. What was Chilton's variable manufacturing overhead rate variance last year?
a. $24,000 favorable
b. $24,000 unfavorable
c. $210,900 unfavorable
d. $210,900 favorable
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = 80,000 favorable
Explanation:
Given:
Overhead rate variance = $1.70 per hour
Total machine hour = 160,000 hour
Actual overhead costs = $192,000
Find:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance
Computation:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate]Actual hour
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance =[1.7 - (192,000 / 160,000)]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [1.7 - (1.2)]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = [0.5]160,000
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance = 80,000 favorable

Carla Vista Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $385,000 (units 5,500), variable costs $250,000, and fixed costs $94,000. Management is considering the following independent courses of action to increase net income. 1. Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or units sold. 2. Reduce variable costs to 56% of sales. Compute the net income to be earned under each alternative. 1. Net Income $ 2. Net Income $ Which course of action will produce the higher net income
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1.
Selling Price = Sales ÷ Units Sold
Current Selling Price = $385,000 ÷ 5500
= $70
Now
Expected Selling Price per unit = $70 + ($70× 10%)
= $77
Now
Expected Sales = 5500 × $77
= $423,500
Now
Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost
= $423,500 - $250,000 - $94,000
2.
Sales = $385000
Variable cost = $385,000 × 56% = $215,600
Sales $385,000
Less: variable cost -$215,600
Contribution Margin $169,400
Les: fixed cost -$94,000
Net Income $75,400
As we can see that if there is an increase in Selling Price by 10% so it would produce highest Net Income.
