Answer:
Currency, in industrialized nations, portion of the national money supply, consisting of bank notes and government-issued paper money and coins, that does not require endorsement in serving as a medium of exchange; among less developed societies, currency encompasses a wide diversity of items (e.g., livestock, stone carvings, tobacco) used as exchange media as well as signs of value or wealth. In the developed nations, where checks drawn on demand deposits are an important means of transaction, currency may actually account for only a small portion of the total money supply
Explanation:
Since the abandonment of the gold standard in the 1930s, governments have not been obligated to repay the holders of currency in any form of precious metal. Consequently the volume of currency is determined by the actions of the government or central bank and not by the supply of precious metals.
Wildcat Corporation has a fiscal year-end of December 31. Please review the following transactions: On October 1, the insurance premium of $23,000 was paid for a one-year fire insurance policy. On June 30, the company advanced its chief financial officer $21,000; principal and interest at 7% on the note are due in one year. Equipment costing $71,000 was purchased at the beginning of the year for cash. Depreciation on the equipment is $14,200 per year. If the adjusting entries were not recorded, would net income be higher or lower and by how much
Answer:
S/n General Journal Debit Credit
1. Insurance Expense $5,750
{(23,000/12) * 3}
Prepaid Insurance $5,750
2. Interest Receivable $735
(21,000 * 7% * 6/12)
Interest Revenue $735
3. Depreciation Expense $14,200
Accumulated Dep. $14,200
Effect on Net Income
Net Income would be lower by:
==> ($5,750 - $735 + $14,200)
==> $19,215
Covent Gardens Inc. is considering two financial plans for the coming year. Management expects sales to be $300,000, operating costs to be $265,000, assets to be $200,000, and its tax rate to be 35%. Under Plan A it would use 25% debt and 75% common equity. The interest rate on the debt would be 8.8%, but under a contract with existing bondholders the Times Interest Earned (TIE) ratio would have to be maintained at or above 4.5. Under Plan B, the maximum debt that met the TIE constraint would be employed. Assuming that sales, operating costs, assets, the interest rate, and the tax rate would all remain constant, by how much would the ROE change in response to the change in the capital structure?
Answer:
Assets = $200,000
For Plan A
25% debt = 200,000 * 25% = 50,000
75% equity = 200,000 * 75% = 150,000
The debt will generate 8.8% interest expense. Interest expense = 50,000 * 8.8% = 4,400
Income for the expected project under Plan A
Sales revenue 300,00
Operating cost 265,000
EBIT 35,000
Interest expense 4,400
EBT 30,600
Income tax 10,710
Net income $19,890
Times interest earned = EBIT /interest expense = 35,000 / 4,400 = 7.95. So, it achieve the requirement of 4.5 or above.
ROE for plan A = Net income / Equity = 19,890/150,000 = 0,1326 = 13.26%
Under Plan B
We will take as much debt as we can until Times interest earned = 4.5
EBIT / interest expense = Times interest earned
35,000/Interest expense = 4.5
Interest expense = 35,000/4.5
Interest expense = 7.777,78
Net income = (EBIT - interest) x (1- tax-rate)
Net income = (35,000 - 7,777.78) x (1-35%)
Net income = 17.694,443
Interest expense = Debt * Rate
Debt = Interest expense / Rate
Debt = 7,777.78/0.088
Debt = 88.383,86
Asset = Debt + Equity
200,000 = 88,383.86 + Equity
Equity = 200,000 - 88,383.86 =
Equity = 111,616.14
ROE for Plan B = Net income/ Equity = 17,694.443 / 111,616.14 = 0,15852943 = 15.85%
So, we compare both ROE
Plan A = 13.26%
Plan B = 15.85%
Difference = 2.59%
So therefore, using the Plan B will increase the ROE for 2.59%
Two manufacturing firms, located in cities 90 miles apart, both send their trucks four times a week to the other city full of cargo and return empty. Each driver costs $275 per day with benefits (the round trip takes all day) and each firm has truck operating costs of $1.30 a mile. How much could each firm save weekly if each sent its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip
Answer: $1,018
Explanation:
Cities are 90 miles apart so a roundtrip is 180 miles which means that the operating cost per trip is:
= 1.30 * 180
= $234
Total cost per trip = Divers cost + operating cost
= 275 + 234
= $509
Four trips are made per week so total cost is:
= 509 * 4
= $2,036
If each sent its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip then savings would be:
= Cost of 4 trips - cost of 2 trips
= 2,036 - (509 * 2)
= $1,018
Manufacturing overhead for the month was overapplied by $3,600. The Corporation allocates any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead among work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold at the end of the month on the basis of the manufacturing overhead applied during the month in those accounts. The work in process inventory at the end of March after allocation of any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead for the month is closest to: (Round intermediate percentage computations to the nearest whole percent.)
Answer: $19,648
Explanation:
This question is missing details that I could not find so I will answer with a similar question. You can use it to answer yours.
Work in process inventory at the end of March= Work in Process - Overapplied Manufacturing overhead overhead allocated to WIP
Percentage of overhead that went towards WIP:
= Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP/ Total overhead
= 5,830 / 51,920
= 11% (nearest whole percent)
Overapplied Overhead going allocated to WIP:
= Percentage of overhead to WIP * Overapplied overhead for the month
= 11% * $4,200
= $462
Work in process inventory at end of March = 20,110 - 462
= $19,648

On January 1, 2021, Jasperse Corporation leased equipment under a finance lease designed to earn the lessor a 12% rate of return for providing long-term financing. The lease agreement specified ten annual payments of $75,000 beginning January 1, and each December 31 thereafter through 2029. A 10-year service agreement was scheduled to provide maintenance of the equipment as required for a fee of $5,000 per year. Insurance premiums of $4,000 annually are related to the equipment. Both amounts were to be paid by the lessor and lease payments reflect both expenditures. (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.) At what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset
Answer:
$442,977.5
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount will Jasperse record a right-of-use asset
Right of use asset = ($75,000 -$5,000) x PVAD, 12%, 10
Right of use asset =$70,000*6.32825
Right of use asset =$442,977.5

Innovation activities are often aimed at making a discovery or commercializing a technology ahead of competition. What are some of the unethical practices that companies could engage in during the innovation process. What are potential long-term consequences of such actions
Answer:
lack of consumer safety
Explanation:
One of the biggest unethical practices that occur during the innovation process is lack of consumer safety. The entire idea of the innovation process is to try and create something truly functional that has not been done before and release it way before any competitor can create a similar product. In this rush to create the product, producers completely ignore many obvious faults that the product may have and/or any dangers it may pose to the consumer as long as the product works as intended.
A company that manufactures air-operated drain valve assemblies currently has $100,000 available to pay for plastic components over a 5-year period. If the company spent only $52,000 in year 1, what uniform annual amount can the company spend in each of the next 4 years to deplete the entire budget
Answer:
$18,297.31
Explanation:
The computation of the uniform amount that could be spend is shown below"
Here we determine the PMT
Given that
We assume the RATE = 10%
NPER = 5 - 1 = 4
PV = $100,000 × 1.1 - $52,000
= $110,000 - $52,000
= $58,000
FV = $0
The formula is given below:
= PMT(RATE,NPER,PV,FV,0)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the uniform annual amount is $18,297.31
You want to receive $5000 per month for 20 years in real dollars in an account when you retire in 35 years. The first monthly payment to be received 1 month after you retire. The nominal return on your investment is 9.94 percent and the inflation rate is 3.2 percent. What is the real amount you must deposit each year for 35 years to achieve your goal
Answer:
The real amount you must deposit each year for 35 years to achieve your goal is $5,359.02
Explanation:
To calculate the real amount we need to calculate the real interest rate as follow
1 + Nominal rate = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation rate )
1 + 9.94% = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + 3.2% )
1.0994 = ( 1 + Real rate ) x 1.032
1 + Real rate = 1.0994 / 1.032
1 + Real rate = 1.06531
Real rate = 1.06531 - 1
Real rate = 0.06531
Real rate = 6.531% = 6.53%
We need to calculate the PV of the payment that should be received.
Use the following formula to calculate the present value
PV of Annuity = Annuity payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + Interest rate )^-numbers of annuity payments ) / Interest rate
Where
Annuity Payment = $5,000 per month
Interest rate = 6.53% / 12 = 0.5442%
Numbers pf annuity payments = 20 years x 12 payments per year = 240 payment
PLacing values in the formula
PV of Annuity = $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.5442% )^-240 ) / 0.5442%
PV of Annuity = $5,000 x 133.80362
PV of Annuity = $669,018.09
Now calculate the amount of deposit required to receive the payment after retirement.
Use the following formula to calculate the real deposit
Future value of annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 + Interest rate )^numbers of annuity payments - 1 ) / Interest rate
Where
Future value of annuity = $669,018.09
Interst rate = 6.53%
Numbers of annuity payment = 35 years x 1 payment per year = 35 payments
Annuity payment = Real amount of deposit = ?
Placing values in the formula
$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x ( 1 + 6.53% )^35 - 1 ) / 6.53%
$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x 124.83967
Real amount of deposit = $669,018.09 / 124.83967
Real amount of deposit = $5,359.02
Nettle Co. uses process costing to account for the production of rubber balls. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 12,000 units for materials and 10,000 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $14,000 in materials and $8,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $72,000 for materials and $80,000 for conversion costs. Ending inventory still in process was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The cost per unit for materials using the FIFO method would be closest to:__________A. $6.0000B. $7.1666C. $14.5000D. $1.8334
Answer: $6.00
Explanation:
The following can be gotten from the question:
From the question, we are informed that April costs were $72,000 for materials with the equivalent units have been calculated to be 12,000 units.
Therefore, the cost per unit for materials using the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) will be:
= $72000 / 12000
= $6.00
The cost per unit for materials using the FIFO method would be closest to Option A. $6.0000.
The calculation is as follows:= Material cost ÷ equivalnet units for materials
= $72000 ÷ 12000
= $6.00

Tanager's taxable income would be calculated as:
= Operating income - Operating expense + Long term gain + Short term loss
= $480,000 - $390,000 + $55,000 - $40,000
= $105,000
Tanager's tax for the year will be:
= $105,000 × 21%
= $105,000 × 0.21
= $22,050

a) Dividends cause assets to increase.
b) Dividends have no effect on equity.
c) Dividends cause equity to increase.
d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.
Answer: d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.
Explanation:
Dividends are payments to shareholders as a way of sharing the profit that the company made with its owners. Net profit is added to the Equity of company.
In other words, dividends cause equity to decrease because they are taken from Retained Earnings (net income) which are added to Equity. By reducing the amount of Retained earnings available therefore, dividends are reducing Equity.
d) Dividends cause equity to decrease.
DividendsA dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders from its profits.Dividends are payments provided to shareholders as a means of sharing a company's earnings with its owners. The net profit is added to the company's equity.d) Dividends cause equity to decrease because they are deducted from Retained Earnings (net income), which are then added to Equity.

In The Last Lecture video, Randy Pausch informs his audience about his health situation and then goes into sharing his childhood dreams that he was able to achieve. Through his lecture, he is able to demonstrate the leadership competencies commonly identified among leaders from around the world. In a PowerPoint presentation, Analyze seven key leadership competencies observed in The Last Lecture Identify how these competencies relate to various leadership styles. Determine how these leadership competencies apply to organizational success.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the link to the video.
However, what we can do is to share some leadership competencies commonly identified among leaders from around the world so you cant use this information to prepare your PowerPoint Presentation.
Let's start with two leadership traits that are included in the famous speech delivered by professor Randy Pausch titled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams," on September 18, 2007, at McConomy Auditorium at Carnegie Mellon University.
When Pausch was referring to his dream of being a professional football player in the NFL, he said his high school coaches taught him various leadership lessons.
Persistence. No matter the coach was hard on him, he understood the value of being persistent and never surrender.
Own the fundamentals. He understood during his football practices that fundamentals were the basis for everything. So you have to work on your fundamentals to do things right.
Feedback. Leaders like to give feedback, although it comes in screams and shouts. Pausch understood that if the coach was hard on him, was because the coach was interested in him and wanted him to improve as a player and as a person.
Enthusiasm. Pausch said that coach Graham taught him the trait of enthusiasm. No matter what happened, players and coaches had to show enthusiasm all the time.
Acceptance. Pausch commented that when he was at Electronics Arts, he learned about the importance to accept the experience, which for him was to get what you receive that you did not want.
Be a role model. You have to be a role model when you are in command, and he set the example of Captain Kirk in the Star Trek TV series.
Being an Imagineer. He said that imagination was very important to create new and useful new things.

A supply curve is upward-sloping because At higher prices sellers have a greater incentive to produce more, ceteris paribus. The law of supply states that as price rises, the quantity supplied increases. At lower prices sellers may not be covering their costs of production and are therefore willing to supply less. All of the answers are correct.
Answer:
All of the answers are correct.
Explanation:
The law of supply states that in a production process when the price of. Commodity increases the suppliers are more willing to supply more goods, while when price falls suppliers tend to supply less goods.
This is as a result of lower motivation to sell at a lower price where profit margins are low. The higher the price the more the profit made so they are more motivated.
Also when prices are too low the suppliers may barely cover their cost of production so they tend to supply less.
Attached is a diagram of the supply curve
