Answer: $11,985
Explanation:
The credit to the Additional paid-in capital is the excess over the pa value of the stock that was sold. The formula is therefore:
Additional paid-in capital = Cash stock was sold for - Par value of stock
Par value of stock = 30 shares * 0.50
= $15.00
Additional paid-in capital = 12,000 - 15
= $11,985

Answer:
Explanation:
From the question we are informed about Rolando, who is a senior employee, has been asked to monitor the activities of some new employees and report to her if he finds them engaged in activities that are not work related. He finds them spending far too much time on social networking sites. However, instead of reporting this, he advises the new employees to refrain from using those sites in the future. Moreover, he tells Alexa that they were doing their work effectively. In this scenario, Rolando has engaged in Filtering.
Filtering can be regarded as distortion as well as withholding of information so that reactions of a person or entity can be managed. It can be explained as process whereby some information is been hide to higher rank workers by
employee, whereby this is done so that
employees that committed a fault is not affected. Filtering serves as an act that middle-range workers can take to give

Sutton Inc. can produce 100 units of a component part with the following costs: Ch01Q78 If Sutton Inc. can purchase the component part externally for $345,000 and only $28,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided, what is the correct make-or-buy decision
Question Completion:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $60,000
Answer:
Sutton Inc.
The correct make-or-buy decision is:
Continue to produce the component.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production costs:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $60,000
Production costs = $360,000
Relevant costs to make:
Direct materials cost $150,000
Direct labor cost $100,000
Variable overhead $50,000
Fixed overhead $28,000
Avoidable costs = $328,000
Cost of purchasing the component = $345,000
Difference = $17,000
Sutton will pay $17,000 more if it buys the component than if it makes it. Therefore, it is more cost-effective to make the component than buying from the outside supplier.

Which of the following is an example of a mixed cost?
a. electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour
b. salary of a factory supervisor
c. rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use
d. straight-line depreciation on factory equipment
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Mixed cost is a cost that consists of both fixed cost and variable cost
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e.g., rent, mortgage payments, depreciation
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
An example of variable cost is electricity costs of $3 per kilowatt-hour. If the factory is locked down, no electricity cost would be incurred.
The rental costs of $10,000 per month plus $0.30 per machine hour of use consists of both a fixed cost and a variable cost
the fixed cost is 10,000
the variable cost is $0.30 per machine hour

A company had net income of $43,000, net sales of $380,500, and average total assets of $220,000. Its profit margin and total asset turnover were, respectively:
a. 11.3%; 1.73
b. 11.3%; 19.5
c. 1.7%; 19.5
d. 1.7%; 11.3
d. 19.5%; 11.3
Answer:
11.3%, 1.73
Explanation:
Net income= 43,000
Net sales= 380,500
Total assests= 220,000
Therefore profit margin can be calculated as follows=
Net income/sales
= 43000/380,500
= 0.113×100
= 11.3%
Total assets turnover can be calculated as follows
= 380,500/220,000
= 1.73
the Hence profit margin is 11.3% and total assets turnover is 1.73

ABC Manufacturing allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. You are given the following information for 2020:
Budget: Budgeted overhead $2,000, budgeted direct labor hours: 1,000
Actual: Actual overhead was $3,000, actual direct labor hours worked: 1,200
Overhead for 2020 was:_______.
a. Underapplied by $1,000
b. Underapplied by $600
c. Overapplied by $1,000
d. Overapplied by $600
Answer:
c. Overapplied by $1,000
Explanation:
Given that budgeted overhead is $2000 and actual overhead is $3000, overhead is overapplied or in excess(deficit) of overhead budget by $1000. If actual overhead were to be lower than budgeted overhead, overhead would be under applied or we would have a surplus of $1000(if budgeted overhead is $3000 and actual overhead is $1000 for example).
Big Red Motors, Inc., employs 15 personnel to market its line of luxury automobiles. The average car sells for $75,000, and a 6 percent commission is paid to the salesperson. Big Red Motors is considering a change to the commission arrangement where the company would pay each salesperson a salary of $1,600 per mont plus a commission of 2 percent of the sales made by that salesperson. What is the amount of total monthly car sales at whit Big Red Motors would be indifferent as to which plan to select?
Answer: $600,000
Explanation:
The commission earned per car in the initial arrangement is:
= 6% * Total cars sales
With the second arrangement the amount spent would be:
= Salary of employees + commission
= (15 * 1,600) + (2% * total car sales)
= 24,000 + (2% * car sales)
Assuming total car sales is x, relevant expression is:
6% * x = 24,000 + (2% * x)
0.06x = 24,000 + 0.02x
0.06x - 0.02x = 24,000
0.04x = 24,000
x = 24,000 / 0.04
x = $600,000
On January 2, 2017, the board of directors of Michael declared a 10% stock dividend to be distributed on February 15, 2017. The market price of Michael Company's common stock was $75 per share on January 2, 2017. On the date of declaration, the retained earnings account should be decreased by
Answer:
the decrease in the value of the retained earning is $172,500
Explanation:
The computation of the decrease in the value of the retained earning is given below:
The dividend of the stock is
= (25,000 shares - 2,000 shares) × 10% × $75
= $172,500
Since there is the stock dividend of $172,500 so it ultimately reduced the retained earning account by $172,500

You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.62 and the total portfolio is exactly as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio
Answer:
1.71
Explanation:
Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
The market has a beta of one. If a portfolio has the same level of systematic risk that is the same as that of the market, its beta would be equal to 1.
The beta of a risk free asset is zero
The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio
weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock
1 = (0.3 x 1.62) + (0.3 x 0) + (0.3 x a)
1 = 0.486 + 0 + 0.3a
1 - 0.486 = 0.3a
a = 1.71

a. A firm offering little customization cannot compete simultaneously on the dimension of consistent quality.
b. A firm that competes on the dimension of customization tends to have operating systems that are inflexible.
c. It is impossible for a firm to improve cost and quality simultaneously.
d. A firm that competes on the dimension of volume flexibility is more likely to manufacture products that experience a seasonal demand variation.
Answer:
b. A firm that competes on the dimension of customization tends to have operating systems that are inflexible.
Explanation:
It is correct to say that a company that competes in the customization dimension tends to have inflexible operating systems, because product customization is a different process from mass production, as the demand is different, the customization process takes longer and therefore requires inflexible operating systems.

Joshua borrowed $1,400 for one year and paid $70 in interest. The bank charged him a service charge of $12. If Joshua repaid the loan in 12 equal monthly payments, what is the APR? (Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
APR %
Answer: 10.81%
Explanation:
The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.
APR will be calculated
= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]
where,
n = number of months = 12
I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82
P = Borrowed amount = $1,400
N= Loan period = 12
We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:
= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))
= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))
= 0.1081
=10.81 %
The following data apply to Elizabeth's Electrical Equipment:
Value of operations $20,000
Short-term investments $1,000
Debt $6,000
Number of shares 300
The company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock. What will the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase?
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the intrinsic per share stock price be immediately after the repurchase
First step
Total Assets=Value of operations of 20,000+ Short term investments of 1000
Total Assets=$21,000
Second step
Equity =Assets - Debt
Equity= $21,000-$6,000
Equity= $15,000
Now let determine the intrinsic per share stock price
Intrinsic per share stock price=$15,000/300
Intrinsic per share stock price=$50
Therefore the Intrinsic value per share will be $50 immediately after the repurchase has occured.
The intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase would be approximately $166,716.67
How did we get the value?To determine the intrinsic per share stock price immediately after the repurchase, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase and then divide the remaining value of operations by the new number of shares.
Given data:
Value of operations: $20,000
Short-term investments: $1,000
Debt: $6,000
Number of shares: 300
First, we need to calculate the new number of shares outstanding after the repurchase. Since the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, we can use this information to determine the number of shares repurchased.
The value of operations ($20,000) plus the short-term investments ($1,000) minus the debt ($6,000) gives us the total equity value of the company before the repurchase:
Equity value before repurchase = Value of operations + Short-term investments - Debt
= $20,000 + $1,000 - $6,000
= $15,000
Let's assume the repurchased shares are denoted by R.
Now, we can set up an equation to represent the total equity value after the repurchase:
Equity value after repurchase = (Number of shares - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price
Given that the total equity value after the repurchase is $15,000 and the number of shares is 300, we have:
$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price
We also know that the company plans on distributing $50 million by repurchasing stock, so we can set up another equation to represent the total value of the repurchased shares:
Total value of repurchased shares = R × Intrinsic per share stock price
Given that the total value of repurchased shares is $50 million, we have:
$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price
Now we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of R (repurchased shares) and Intrinsic per share stock price.
We have the following system of equations:
$15,000 = (300 - R) × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(1)
$50,000,000 = R × Intrinsic per share stock price ...(2)
Divide equation (2) by Intrinsic per share stock price:
$50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price = R
Substitute this value of R into equation (1):
$15,000 = (300 - ($50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price)) × Intrinsic per share stock price
Simplify:
$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - (50,000,000 / Intrinsic per share stock price) × Intrinsic per share stock price
$15,000 = 300 × Intrinsic per share stock price - 50,000,000
Rearrange the equation:
300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $15,000 + $50,000,000
300 × Intrinsic per share stock price = $50,015,000

You would like to have enough money saved to receive $80,000 per year in perpetuity after retirement for you and your heirs. How much would you need to have saved in your retirement fund to achieve this goal
Answer:
$1,000,000
Explanation:
The full question is shown below:
You would like to have enough money saved to receive $80,000 per year in perpetuity after retirement for you and your heirs. How much would you need to have saved in your retirement fund to achieve this goal? (Assume that the perpetuity payments start one year from the date of your retirement. The annual interest rate is 8 percent.)
In order to receive $80,000 per year forever, one needs to save the present value of the annual cash flow using the present value formula for perpetuity as provided below:
PV of perpetuity=annual cash flow/annual interest rate
PV of perpetuity=$80,000/8%
PV of perpetuity=$1,000,000
Conoly Co. has identified an investment project with the following cash flows. If the discount rate is 10 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows? What is the present value at 18 percent and at 24 percent? Year 1, 2, 3, and 4 Cash Flow $1,200, 600, 855 and 1,480 respectively
Answer:
Present Value when discount rate is 10% = $3240.01
Present Value when discount rate is 24% = $2432.40
Present Value when discount rate is 18% = $2,731.61
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = $1,200
Cash flow in year 2 = 600
Cash flow in year 3 = 855
Cash flow in year 4 = 1,480
Present Value when discount rate is 10% = $3240.01
Present Value when discount rate is 24% = $2432.40
Present Value when discount rate is 18% = $2,731.61
To find the PV using a financial calculator:

Mary is currently buying apples and oranges such that the last unit of apples has 30 units of utility and the last unit of oranges has 40 units of utility. She has allocated her entire budget. If the price of an apple is 10 cents and the price of an orange is 20 cents, to maximize her utility, what should Mary do
Answer:
Buy more apples and fewer oranges
Explanation:
Utility is defined as the level of enjoyment or satisfaction that a person gets from consumption of a good or service.
Consumers logically try to maximise utility.
In the given instance we need to get the level of utility for apples and oranges to see which has more utility per unit cash spent.
For apples utility per cash spent = 30 units of utility ÷ 10 cents= 3 utility per cent
For oranges utility per cash spent = 40 units of utility ÷ 20 cents = 2 utility per cent
As apples have a higher utility per cent spent, it will be best Mary buys more apples and fewer oranges

According to a summary of the payroll of Mountain Streaming Co., $110,000 was subject to the 6.0% social security tax and the 1.5% Medicare tax. Also, $25,000 was subject to state and federal unemployment taxes.
Required:
Calculate the employer's payroll taxes.
a. Calculate the employer's payroll taxes, using the following rates: state unemployment, 5.4%; federal unemployment, 0.8%.
Answer:
$9800
Explanation:
This question requires us to calculate the employer's payroll taxes
His social security tax = $110000*6.0%
= 110000x0.06
=$6600
His Medicare tax = $110000*1.5%
= 110000*0.015
= $1650
His state and federal unemployment tax = 25000 dollars
State = 25000x5.4%
= $1350
Federal = 25000x0.8%
= $200
Total employers payroll tax
$(6600+1650+1350+200)
= $9800
