The Postal Service is negotiating a new three-year agreement with two of its unions. One represents the clerks and one the mail carriers. The USPS negotiators are in two separate teams, one negotiating with each of the two unions. The two unions are not affiliated or legally tied to each other in any way, but they do talk informally. After both negotiations have concluded, the USPS management negotiators discovered that the clerk union and the carrier union were sharing information about what they were getting from management. For example, at the time that the clerk union was seeking to have management pay 50% of health insurance, the carrier union quietly told the clerk union that management had tentatively agreed to pay 55% for the carriers. Knowing this, the clerks decided to raise the demand to 55%, and were ultimately successful. The USPS is now considering a lawsuit or filing an Unfair Labor Practice for the unions sharing this information during the conduct of active negotiations, and voiding the 55% coverage of health care insurance that had been agreed to for the clerk union, arguing that it was negotiated based on illegally obtained information. Which of the following is most correct?
A. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.
B. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management cannot fire an Unfair Labor Practice. USPS can successfully sue both unions for damages related to the 55% paid for health care insurance for clerks.
C. This is an example of a lock-in agreement between the two unions and is prohibited by the NLRB.
D. All of the above are correct.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A. The actions of the clerk and carrier unions are not prohibited, and management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.

Explanation:

An unfair labor practice simply occurs when the National Labor Relations Act is being violated. Some if the unfair labor practice include when a worker is threatened when he or she files a ULP charge. Also, the refusal to negotiate with an agency in good faith etc.

In the scenario in the question, we should note that the actions of the clerk and the carrier unions are not prohibited, and then the management does not have any recourse to recover damages nor to win an Unfair Labor Practice.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

The best choice is:

B. Assume that Plum will distribute its after-tax earnings each year to its shareholders. Should Plum operate as a C corporation or an S Corporation?

Explanation:

a) Tax is the greatest difference existing between a C corporation and an S corporation.  With a C corporation, the earnings are taxed twice.  When the C corporation earns income, it is taxed as a corporation.  When it distributes the after-tax earnings, the owners are taxed again in income tax.  This does not happen with an S corporation.  The S corporation does not pay corporate tax, instead, its owners pay their individual income taxes because the corporation's incomes are passed through the members.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 29,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 98,000 units and transferred 100,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 27,000 units in inventory, 90% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. How many units did the Forming Department start and complete in the current month

Answers

Answer:

71,000 units.

Explanation:

Units started and completed = Units Completed - Units in Opening Inventory

therefore

Units started and completed = 100,000 units - 29,000 units = 71,000 units

thus,

Units started and completed  in the current month for the Forming Department is 71,000 units.

Aspen Company estimates its manufacturing overhead to be $891,000 and its direct labor costs to be $540,000 for year 2. Aspen worked on three jobs for the year. Job 2-1, which was sold during year 2, had actual direct labor costs of $168,000. Job 2-2, which was completed, but not sold at the end of the year, had actual direct labor costs of $293,000. Job 2-3, which is still in work-in-process inventory, had actual direct labor costs of $118,000. Actual manufacturing overhead for year 2 was $960,000. Manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor costs.
Required:
A. How much overhead was applied to each job in year 2?
B. What was the over- or underapplied manufacturing overhead for year 2?

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate.

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs for the period / Total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate = 891,000/540,000 = $1.65 per direct labor dollar

We will now allocate overhead to each job

Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate × Actual amount of allocation base

Job 2-1 = $1.65 × $168,000 = $277,200

Job 2-2 = $1.65 × $293,000 = $483,450

Job 2-3 = $1.65 × $118,000 = $194,700

Total allocated overhead = $955,350

The under/over allocation overhead

Under/over applied overhead

= Real overhead - Allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead

= $960,000 - $955,350

= $4,650

The December Customer Survey indicates how customers perceived the products in the segment. The survey evaluates the product against the buying criteria. Zero indicates the product met none of the criteria as of December 31, however it had a higher score earlier in the year. Which of the following conditions does not contribute to a perfect score of 100 for a product?
1) Product was priced at the bottom of the range.
2) Product was perfectly positioned (because the segment moves each month, this can occur only once each year).
3) Product had 100% Awareness and 100% Accessibility.
4) All of these are required for a 100 customer satisfaction.

Answers

Answer:

2) Product was perfectly positioned (because the segment moves each month, this can occur only once each year).

Explanation:

The following conditions that contribute 100 as a perfect score is

a. The product should be priced at the bottom range

b. The product contains 100% awareness & 100% accessibility

c. The customer satisfaction needed 100

But the product that is perfect positioned so the same would not be contributed as 100%

Since ages & distance from the ideal spots varies so the score varies month to months

Answers

Answer:

$21,000

$55,000

Explanation:

Here is the complete question :

Mr. Jernigan owns a piece of land on which he grows corn. Corn production annually requires $6,000 in seed, $9,000 in fertilizer, and $6,000 in pesticides. Me. Jernigan uses his own labor to grow the corn and therefore hires no workers. If Mr. Jernigan did not use his time to grow corn, he would instead be able to sell insurance, earning $35,000 per year.

Suppose another farmer has just offered to pay Mr Jernigan rent of $20,000 per year for use of this land.

If Mr. Jernigan refuses to rent the land to another farmer, then what will be his accounting costs from farming corn himself on this land? What will be his economic costs?

Accounting cost or explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. Accounting cost is used in calculating accounting profit. They include :

cost of the seed cost of fertilizer cost of pesticides

Accounting cost =  $6,000 +  $9,000+  $6,000 =  $21,000

Economic cost or implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Economic costs and accounting cost is used in calculating economic profit. Economic cost include :

amount he would have earned selling issuance amount he would have earned if he rented out the land

Economic cost =  $35,000 +  $20,000 = $55,000

Answers

Answer:

significant determinants of the rate of economic growth in a country.

Explanation:

A legal system can be defined as the system of principles, regulations and rules established by legislature, that is adopted in a community, society or country to regulate the actions of its citizens, members or employees.

Thus, it is a tool used by the judiciary, lawyers, individuals, organizations, and even government to ensure everybody is well behaved, non-criminal and civil in their actions. Therefore, a legal system creates the foundation for ethical behavior.

In circumstances where there are aberration, the legal system enforces an appropriate law as a punishment and penalty for wrongdoings or misdeeds.

Hence, the type of legal system and the level of corruption in a country have been found to be significant determinants of the rate of economic growth in a country because if the level of corruption is high and the legal system isn't functional by appropriately sentencing corrupt individuals or officials in a country, the economy of such a country would be impacted negatively.

Monetary approach and forecasting.
Suppose relative PPP and the quantity theory of money hold. Suppose you expect the rate of money growth of Argentina in the next year to be around 15% while your forecast for its real GDP growth is at 2%. Suppose inflation in Brazil is expected to be at 4%.
Suppose you learn that the government of Argentina is planning to cut taxes. You expect this tax cut to be financed through money creation and revise your forecast for money growth to be 25% instead of 15%.
Suppose that you also expect the UIP to hold. You know that the nominal interest rate in Brazil today is 6% (on deposits maturing in a year).
1. What is the nominal interest rate in Argentina?
2. What is the world real interest rate?

Answers

Answer:

1. The nominal interest rate in Argentina is:

= 25%

2. The world real interest rate is:

= 2%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected money growth rate of Argentina next year = 15%

Forecasted real GDP growth = 2%

Expected inflation rate = 13% (15% - 2%)

Nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate

Real interest rate = 25% - 13% = 12%

Nominal interest rate = 12% + 13% = 25%

The world real interest rate = nominal interest rate minus inflation rate

= 6% - 4% = 2%

Answer: remains in the water cycle and can be cleaned for future water usages.

Explanation:

Water never really leaves the earth as it just renters the water cycle where it can be cleaned and used fir future demand.

The water that was used to water the plants, will be lost to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration where it will condense and fall back as rain eventually.

The water the cattle drank will come back into the water cycle as urine and sweat where it can then be cleaned and used again for future demand. For instance, we are still drinking water that was drunk by dinosaurs.

The actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50,000 pounds. The actual purchase price per pound of materials was $2.25. The company produced 13,000 units of finished goods during the period. What is the materials spending variance

Answers

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

The standard price per pound is $2.00.

The actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50,000 pounds.

The actual purchase price per pound of materials was $2.25.

To calculate the direct material price (spending) variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2 - 2.25)*50,000

Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable

Southern Corporation has a capital structure of 40% debt and 60% common equity. This capital structure is expected not to change. The firm's tax rate is 34%. The firm can issue the following securities to finance capital investments: Debt: Capital can be raised through bank loans at a pretax cost of 10.0%. Also, bonds can be issued at a pretax cost of 7.0%. Common Stock: Retained earnings will be available for investment. In addition, new common stock can be issued at the market price of $90. Flotation costs will be $4 per share. The recent common stock dividend was $4.79. Dividends are expected to grow at 8% in the future.

Required:
What is the cost of capital if the firm uses bank loans and retained earnings?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of capital is 10.89%.

Explanation:

Cost of retained earnings = ((Dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate)) / Stock price) + Growth rate = ((4.79 * (100% + 8%)) / 90) + 8% = 13.748%

Cost of common stock = Cost of retained earnings = 13.748%

Cost of capital = (Weight of debt * (Cost of debt * (100% - Tax rate))) + (Weight of common stock * Cost of common stock) = (40% * (10% * (100% - 34%))) + (60% * 13.748%) = 10.89%

Therefore, the cost of capital is 10.89%.

g On January 1, Garcia Supply leased a truck for a three-year period, at which time possession of the truck will revert back to the lessor. Annual lease payments are $10,500 due on December 31 of each year, calculated by the lessor using a 4% discount rate. Negotiations led to Garcia guaranteeing a $27,400 residual value at the end of the lease term. Garcia estimates that the residual value after four years will be $26,300. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) What is the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee

Answers

Answer:

The amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee is $904.12.

Explanation:

Guaranteed residual value = $27,400

Estimated residual value = $26,300

Difference in residual value = Guaranteed residual value - Estimated residual value = $27,400 - $26,300 = $1,100

Present value of difference in residual value = Difference in residual value / (100% + Discount rate)^Number of years = $1,100 / (100% + 4%)^5 = $904.12

Therefore, the amount to be added to the right-of-use asset and lease liability under the residual value guarantee is $904.12 which is the present value of difference in residual value.

Is the change in the asset turnover ratio from 20Y2 to 20Y3 favorable or unfavorable

Answers

Answer:

a. Asset Turnover 20Y3

= Sales / Average assets

= 2,385,000 / [ (770,000 + 820,000) / 2]

= 2,385,000 / 795,000

= 3.0

Asset Turnover 20Y2

= 2,015,500 / [ (620,000 + 770,000) / 2]

= 2,015,500 / 695,000

= 2.9

b. The change is Favorable because it means that the assets are bringing in more sales per dollar value of assets to the company.

Ivanhoe Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Ivanhoe also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Ivanhoe enters into the following contract on July 1, 2020, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,370 and chooses Ivanhoe to do the installation. Ivanhoe charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $590. The customer pays Ivanhoe $1,920 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,120) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2020, Ivanhoe completes installation on October 15, 2020, and the customer pays the balance due. Prepare the journal entries for Geraths in 2014.
Refer to the revenue arrangement: Repeat the requirements, assuming (a) Geraths estimates the standalone value of the installation based on an estimated cost of $400 plus a margin of 20% on cost, and (b) given uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Geraths is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the fair value of the installation.

To record the cost of goods sold.

October 15, 2020:

Debit Cash $450

Credit Sales Revenue $450

To record the completion of installation.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

July 1, 2020, Contract Price = $2,370

Standalone selling price of window = $1,920

Cost of the window = $1,120

Standalone selling price of installation service = $590

Attributed selling price of installation service = $450 ($590 = $140)

b) Estimated standalone value of the installation = estimated cost + 20% on cost

= $400 + 20%  = $480 ($400 * 1.2)

Separate performance values:

Sale of window = $1,920   = $1,896 ($1,920/$2,400 * $2,370)

Installation =             480   =      474 ($480/$2,400 * $2,370)

Total =                 $2,400  = $2,370

c. If Ivanhoe Windows is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the fair value of the installation, both payments received will be attributed to the Sales Revenue without identifying separate performance values.

After graduation, you decide to go into a partnership in an office supply store that has existed for a number of years. Walking through the store and stockrooms, you find a great discrepancy in service levels. Some spaces and bins for items are completely empty; others have supplies that are covered with dust and have obviously been there a long time. You decide to take on the project of establishing consistent levels of inventory to meet customer demands. Most of your supplies are purchased from just a few distributors that call on your store once every two weeks. You choose, as your first item for study, computer printer paper. You examine the sales records and purchase orders and find that demand for the past 12 months was 5,000 boxes. Using your calculator you sample some days' demands and estimate that the standard deviation of daily demand is 10 boxes. You also search out these figures:

Cost per box of paper: $11.
Desired service probability: 98 percent.
Store is open every day.
Salesperson visits every two weeks.
Delivery time following visit is three days.

Using your procedure, how many boxes of paper would be ordered if, on the day the salesperson calls, 60 boxes are on hand?

Answers

Answer:

257 boxes

Explanation:

The computation is given below;

Daily Demand would be

= 5000 ÷ 365

Standard Deviation = 10 boxes

Lead Time = 2 Weeks + 3 Days = 17 Days

Service Level = 0.98

Reorder Point = avg(d) × LT + z ×  σd × sqrt(LT)

= 5000 ÷ 365 × 17 + 2.05 × 10 × 170.5

= 317

So, the number of boxes should be ordered is  

= 317 - 60

= 257 boxes
