Craydye makes all sorts of moldings. Its standard quantity of material allowed is 1 foot of wood per 1 foot of molding at a standard price of $3.00 per foot. During August, it purchased 200,000 feet of wood at a cost of $2.00 per foot, which produced only 199,000 feet of molding. Calculate the materials price variance and the materials usage variance. a.$600,900 U and $2,500 F b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U c.$400,000 F and $1,000 U d.$700,000 U and $4,000 F
Answer:
We choose b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U
Explanation:
Given that:
standard price of $3.00 per footpurchased 200,000cost of $2.00 per foot produced only 199,000 feet of moldingMaterial Price Variance
= (Standard Price X Actual Quantity) - (Actual Price X Actual Quantity)
= ($ 3*200000) - ($ 2*200000)
= $ 600000 - $ 400000
= $ 200000 F
Material Usage variance
= (Standard Price X Standard Quantity) - (Standard Price X Actual Quantity)
= ($3* 199000) - ($3*200000)
= $ 597000 -$ 600000
= $ 3000 U
We choose b.$200,000 F and $3,000 U

Rosalie owns 50% of the outstanding stock of Salmon Corporation. In a qualifying stock redemption, Salmon distributes $592,000 to Rosalie in exchange for one-half of her shares, which have a basis of $740,000. Rosalie has a $ realized loss of which $ is recognized.
Answer:
$148,000
Explanation:
The computation of the realized loss recognized is shown below:
= Basis of shares - consideration
= $740,000 - $592,000
= $148,000
By deducting the consideration from the basis of shares we can get the realized loss i.e to be recognized and the same is to be considered while taking the two items together i.e basis of shares and the consideration amount
A hurricane has disrupted operations at one of your company's facilities and shut down operations completely for several of your key suppliers. Inputs to your manufacturing process will be exhausted within days, and the company will be unable to fulfill its contracts with customers. In addition, many employees have suffered serious damage to their homes, and a few people are missing. You are a manager, and your employees are looking to you for leadership. Which of the following do you do? A) In oral and written communications, focus on the damage and loss of life that has occurred, since any note of optimism would be disrespectful B) Use a highly emotional tone to communicate how seriously you take the situation and a sense of urgency. C) Set up a system for communicating facts as soon as they are determined so employees hear them first from management and not on the news. D) Walk around to be visible and accessible to as many employees as possible so they know you are engaged in crisis management.
Answer:
Set up a system for communicating facts as soon as they are determined so that employees hear them first from the management and not on the news.
Explanation:
One key approach to crisis management is an effective communication.
In the event of crisis , victims are always on the look out for reliefs and compensation from the relevant authorities and when it appears that this is not forthcoming , they become demoralized .
During crisis management , there should be a system of communicating facts as soon as possible so that the management's decision can easily be communicated to affected parties. When there is hope of compensation in sight , people get motivated .
Mike had been negotiating with a Japanese company for distribution rights for five days. He was afraid he was going to lose the contract, so at the last minute he decided to lower the price. They accepted the next day. What mistake did Mike make? Multiple Choice He should have come in with a low price at the outset. He should have had a written concession plan before he began the negotiation. He should have given the Japanese negotiators a menu of options including the lower price. He should have avoided all concessions. He should have deferred to his superiors.
Answer:
He should have given the Japanese negotiators a menu of options including the lower price.
Explanation:
As it was already on cards that whenever you negotiate you need to have some preparation beforehand and have a complete list of options you would opt if your best options fails to be executed.
Hence, Mike should have given the Japanese a list of options so that It would be easy for them to think about the offer as well as give Mike the advantage to make his deal a success through different options. And if still the options weren't good enough for the Japanese, then Mike would only be left with the option of lowering the price but he would still had a more chance of getting his deal done if he had prepared those options as well.
Thanks.
Goodluck buddy.
Final answer:
When planning to enter a monopolistic market with lower prices, it's important to prepare for the monopolist's potential aggressive responses, including price matching, product enhancements, or tactics to restrict market entry.
Explanation:
When managing a small firm and considering entering the market of a monopolist who is charging high prices, it's crucial to anticipate the monopolist's potential reactions. As you plan to offer a product at 10% lower than the monopolist's price, you should consider the possibility that the monopolist could respond aggressively to maintain their market dominance. This could include lowering their prices to match or beat yours, improving their product's quality or features to justify their higher price, or leveraging their market power to hinder your firm's market entry, such as through exclusive contracts with suppliers or distributors.

a.What debit amount will be recorded to the inventory account? $
b.What debit amount will be recorded to building account? $
c. What credit amount will be recorded to Steven's capital account ? $
Answer:
Explanation:
Steven contributed building and cash of $65,000
Book value of building = $250,000
Market value of building = $275,000
Book value of inventory = $40,000
Market value of inventory = $28,000
Mortgage note payable (used to purchase building = $170,000
All assets brought in by the partners are recorded at their market values.
a) Hence, amount to be debited to inventory account = $28,000
b) Amount to be debited to building account = $275,000
c) Amount to be recorded to Steven's Capital = Market value of building+Market value of inventory+Cash- Mortgage note payable (used to purchase building
= 275,000+28,000+65,000-170,000
= $198,000
Pretzelmania, Inc., issues 7%, 10-year bonds with a face amount of $70,000 for $70,000 on January 1, 2018. The market interest rate for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 7%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. 1. & 2. Record the bond issue and first interest payment on June 30, 2018
Answer:
January 1, 2018
Dr. Cash $70,000
Cr. Bond Payable $70,000
June 30, 2018
Dr. Interest Expense $2,450
Cr. Cash $2,450
Explanation:
If the market rate is equal to the coupon rate of a bond, the bond will be issued at par. Bond is recognised as a liability and recorded in the account of Bond Payable.
Interest is paid on the face value and stated rate of the bond.
Interest Payment = Face value x Coupon rate x 6/12 = $70,000 x 7% x 6/12 = $2,450.
Final answer:
The student's question pertains to recording the issuance of bonds at par value and the subsequent semiannual interest payment. The issuance involves debiting Cash and crediting Bonds Payable. The interest payment is recorded by debiting Interest Expense and crediting Cash for the semiannual interest amount.
Explanation:
The student's question revolves around the accounting for bond transactions, which involves recording the issuance of the bonds and making semiannual interest payments. As the bonds issued by Pretzelmania, Inc. have a face amount of $70,000 and are sold for the same amount, there is no need for any premium or discount to be recorded. The market interest rate matches the stated rate of the bond, which is 7%, indicating that the bonds were issued at par.
Journal Entry for Bond Issue on January 1, 2018:
Debit Cash $70,000
Credit Bonds Payable $70,000
This entry reflects the receipt of cash from the bond investors and the creation of a liability for Pretzelmania, Inc. in the form of bonds payable.
Journal Entry for First Interest Payment on June 30, 2018:
Debit Interest Expense $2,450
Credit Cash $2,450
This entry accounts for the payment of interest for six months. The amount of interest paid is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the bonds ($70,000) by the interest rate (7%) and then by half a year (since the interest is semiannual).
$70,000 × 7% × 0.5 = $2,450
This interest payment reflects the semiannual interest paid to bondholders, which is a cash outflow for the company.
Omron Electronics currently produces the shipping containers it uses to deliver the electronics products it sells. The monthly cost of producing 10,000 containers follows. Unit-level materials $ 7,500 Unit-level labor 8,250 Unit-level overhead 5,250 Product-level costs* 13,500 Allocated facility-level costs 33,000 *One-third of these costs can be avoided by purchasing the containers. Russo Container Company has offered to sell comparable containers to Omron for $3.00 each. Required Calculate the total relevant cost. Should Omron continue to make the containers
Answer:
a)
Total relevant cost
unit level materials 7,500
unit level labor 8,250
unit level overhead 5,250
product level cost(13,500*1/3) 4,500
Total relevant cost 25,500
cost of buying (10,000*3)= 30,000
Should Omron continue to make the containers Yes
Omron should continue making the containers because the total relevant cost of making ($25,500) is less than purchasing ($30,000).
Omron should purchase the containers from Russo Container Company because the total relevant cost of purchasing is lower than the total relevant cost of making the containers.
First, we need to calculate the total relevant cost of producing the containers in-house and compare it to the cost of purchasing them from Russo Container Company.
The total relevant cost of producing the containers includes the unit-level materials, unit-level labor, unit-level overhead, and the avoidable portion of the product-level costs. The allocated facility-level costs are not relevant because they are sunk costs and will not change whether Omron decides to make or buy the containers.
Unit-level materials: $7,500
Unit-level labor: $8,250
Unit-level overhead: $5,250
Product-level costs: $13,500
Allocated facility-level costs: $33,000 (not relevant)
One-third of the product-level costs can be avoided by purchasing the containers, so the avoidable product-level costs are:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{3} \times 13,500 = 4,500 \][/tex]
Now, we calculate the total relevant cost of making the containers:
[tex]\[ \text{Total relevant cost (Make)} = \text{Unit-level materials} + \text{Unit-level labor} + \text{Unit-level overhead} + \text{Avoidable product-level costs} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total relevant cost (Make)} = 7,500 + 8,250 + 5,250 + 4,500 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total relevant cost (Make)} = 25,500 \][/tex]
Next, we calculate the total relevant cost of purchasing the containers from Russo Container Company:
[tex]\[ \text{Total relevant cost (Purchase)} = \text{Number of containers} \times \text{Cost per container} \] \[ \text{Total relevant cost (Purchase)} = 10,000 \times 3.00 \] \[ \text{Total relevant cost (Purchase)} = 30,000 \][/tex]
Total relevant cost of making: $25,500
Total relevant cost of purchasing: $30,000
Since the total relevant cost of making the containers ($25,500) is less than the total relevant cost of purchasing them ($30,000), Omron should continue to make the containers.

Comparing three depreciation methods Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $72,000. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 18,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $4,500. The equipment was used for 7,600 hours during Year 1, 6,000 hours in Year 2, and 4,400 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ending December 31, by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. Round the final answers for each year to the nearest whole dollar.
Answer:
a) $22,500
b) 3.75 per unit
c) 66.67%
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Calculation for amount of depreciation:
Straight line Depreciation = ($72,000 - $4,500)÷3
=$22,500
Unit of production method = ($72,000 - $4,500)÷18,000
= $3.75 per unit
Double decline rate = 100÷3
= 33.33%×2
= 66.67%
Depreciation Expense
Year Straight line Unit of production Double decline
year 1 $22,500 7,600×$3.75 =$28,500 $72,000×66.67%=$48,000

To simplify data handling to include the receipt of orders that have actually been placed in previous periods, the following six-level scheme can be used. (A number of different techniques are used in practice, but the important issue is to keep track of what is on hand, what is expected to arrive, what is needed, and what size orders should be placed.) One unit of A is made of three units of B, one unit of C, and two units of D. B is composed of two units of E and one unit of D. C is made of one unit of B and two units of E. E is made of one unit of F. Items B, C, E, and F have one-week lead times; A and D have lead times of two weeks. Assume that lot-for-lot (L4L) lot sizing is used for Items A, B, and F; lots of size 56, 56, and 206 are used for Items C, D, and E, respectively. Items C, E, and F have on-hand (beginning) inventories of 16, 56, and 156, respectively; all other items have zero beginning inventory. We are scheduled to receive 16 units of A in Week 2, 56 units of E in Week 1, and also 56 units of F in Week 1. There are no other scheduled receipts. If 36 units of A are required in Week 8, use the low-level-coded bill of materials to find the necessary planned order releases for all components.

This problem involves Material Requirement Planning (MRP). To build the required amount of Item A, you need to plan the necessary resources (Items B, C, D, E, and F), taking into consideration their lead times, lot sizes, and initial inventory levels. The resulting MRP schedule should indicate when and how much to order for each component.
Explanation:This is a complex multi-level Material Requirement Planning (MRP) challenge, which calls for the creation of an MRP schedule to determine when and how much to order. Every item has a distinct production structure and lead time which must be considered. Here's a step-by-step approach:
To start with Item A, we need 36 units in Week 8. Given the two-week lead time, the order must be released in Week 6. The schedule should show gross and net requirement of 36 in Week 8 and planned order release of 36 in Week 6.
For Item B, we'll need 36 * 3 = 108 units in Week 6 in order to produce A. Since Item B also has a one-week lead time, we need to release the order at Week 5.
With Item C, the required 36 units for A means an order release of 36 in Week 6. Item C has a lot size of 56, it would mean that we will have 20 units on hand after completing the order for A.
Last of all, Item E and F are required to produce B and C. The order releases for these can be computed in a similar fashion.
While planning, it's important to note the starting inventory levels and the scheduled receipts of each item, as these figures also impact when and how much you would need to order.

Sarah has investments in four passive activity partnerships purchased several years ago. Last year the income and losses were as follows: Activity Income (Loss) A $30,000 B (30,000) C (15,000) D (5,000) In the current year, she sold her interest in Activity D for a $10,000 gain. Activity D, which had been profitable until last year, had a current loss of $1,500. Answer the following questions to determine how the sale of Activity D affects Sarah's taxable income in the current year. a. The amount of suspended losses carried forward to the year of the sale is $ . b. What amount of the suspended losses is allocated to Activity D? $ c. How much, if any, of this net gain may be used to absorb passive activity losses from other activities? $
Answer:
Explanation:
In last year, Sarah couldn't deduct anything against non passive income and need to allocate the $20,000 net loss between the three loss activities.
Activity Income (Loss)
A 30,000
B (30,000)
C (15,000)
D (5,000)
Net Passive Loss (20,000)
Allocation of net passive loss to Activity B,C and D.
Activity B (30/50 * $20,000) ($12,000)
Activity C (15/50 * $20,000) ($6,000)
Activity D (5/50 * $20,000) ($2,000)
Suspended losses Total ($20,000)
In current year, Sarah has a net gain of $10,000 from sale of Activity D. Sarah can set off $2,000 suspended loss from the activity and the current year’s loss of $1,500 from activity across $10,000 gain. Further, the balancing net gain of $6,500 (10,000-2,000 -1,500) from the sale may be utilized to cover passive losses from the other activities.
QS 23-10 Sell or process further LO A1 Holmes Company produces a product that can be either sold as is or processed further. Holmes has already spent $74,000 to produce 1,325 units that can be sold now for $79,500 to another manufacturer. Alternatively, Holmes can process the units further at an incremental cost of $280 per unit. If Holmes processes further, the units can be sold for $460 each. Compute the incremental income if Holmes processes further.
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue processing and sell the units for $460.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sell as-is:
Selling price= $79,500
Continue processing:
Selling price= $460
Unitary incremental cost= $280
Units= 1,325
The firsts $74,000 is a sunk cost, this means that the cost will remain the same in both options. It is irrelevant to the decision-making process.
Sell as-is:
Effect on income= $79,500
Continue processing:
Effect on income= 1,325*(460-280)= $238,500
It is more profitable to continue processing and sell the units for $460.
Synergy Inc. produces plastic grocery bags. Synergy has developed a static budget for the month of July based on 10,000 direct labor hours. During the quarter, the actual activity was 12,000 direct labor hours. Data for July are summarized as follows: Static budget (10,000 hours) Actual costs (12,000 hours) Direct materials cost $ 86,000 $108,000 Power 30,000 37,000 Salary of plant supervisor 7,000 7,000 Total $123,000 $152,000 What is the flexible budget variance for July
Answer:
$146,200
Explanation:
The computation of flexible budget variance for July is given below:-
Direct materials cost = $86,000 ÷ 10,000 × 12,000
= $103,200
Power = $30,000 ÷ 10,000 × 12,000
= $36,000
Salary of plant manager = $7,000
Flexible budget variance for July = Direct materials cost + Power + Salary of plant manager
= $103,200 + $36,000 + $7,000
= $146,200

Leon Jones worked in the warehouse of a large building supply company. One day he unexpected left for Fiji, never to return. His supervisor seized the opportunity to continue submit time cards for Leon to the payroll department. Each week, as part of his normal duties, the supervisor received the employee pay cheques from payroll and distribute them to the workers on his shift. As Leon was not present to collect his pay cheque, the supervisor forged Leon’s name and cashed it. Required: Describe two control techniques to prevent or detect this fraud scheme. (10
Answer:
=> Automated Signature Verification System.
=> Tracking of workers' appointment by the personnel department.
Explanation:
Forgery is a kind of fraud in which one changes name, signature or anything pertaining to another person in order to deceive other people. Forgery is a fraud and it is a criminal offence that should be stop in the society. Just as it is in the question above the supervisor is forging Leon’s name in order to be able to collect the money of someone that is no more working.
The two control techniques to prevent or detect this fraud scheme are given below:
=> Automated Signature Verification System : the company should have Automated Signature Verification System for their employees and customers so that with it they can easily detect forgery fraud and the person affected can be able to recover his or her losses.
=> Tracking of workers' appointment by the personnel department: the personnel department should track the appointment of each of their employees in any organization.
Other ways are to Install biometric time cards and make sure payroll record are verified and updated before payment.
The control techniques suggested to prevent the fraud scheme described are Segregation of Duties and Regular Auditing. Segregation of duties involves dividing payroll responsibilities among different individuals while regular auditing helps to check on the system and detect any fraudulent behaviors.
Explanation:To prevent or detect the fraud scheme described, two control techniques can be implemented. The first one is Segregation of Duties. In this case, payroll responsibilities would be divided among different individuals to reduce the risk of error and fraud. For example, the task of preparing time cards and the task of distributing pay cheques should not be handled by the same person. It reduces the chances of carrying out and concealing fraud.
The second technique is Regular Auditing. Regular, unannounced audits can deter fraudulent activities and catch them in the early stages. It will ensure that there is a procedural check on the payroll system and reduce its vulnerability to similar types of fraud. It will also lead to a change in organisational culture where it projects intolerance to fraudulent behaviors.

In order to retain certain key executives, Crane Company granted them incentive stock options on December 31, 2020. 143000 options were granted at an option price of $35 per share. Market prices of the stock were as follows: December 31, 2021 $48 per share December 31, 2022 53 per share The options were granted as compensation for executives’ services to be rendered over a two-year period beginning January 1, 2021. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $1504000. What amount of compensation expense should Crane recognize as a result of this plan for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the fair value method? $ 752000. $1504000. $2629000. $1654000.
Final answer:
To determine the compensation expense that Crane Company should recognize for the year ended December 31, 2021, under the fair value method, calculate the value of the vested stock options by subtracting the option price from the market price at the end of the year and multiplying it by the number of vested options.
Explanation:
To determine the compensation expense that Crane Company should recognize for the year ended December 31, 2021, under the fair value method, we need to calculate the value of the stock options granted to the executives at the end of the year.
First, calculate the number of options that have vested at the end of the year. Since the options were granted over a two-year period, half of the options would have vested by the end of the first year (143,000 / 2 = 71,500).Next, calculate the intrinsic value of the vested options by subtracting the option price from the market price at the end of the year ($48 - $35 = $13).Then, multiply the vested options by the intrinsic value to get the total compensation expense for the year ($13 x 71,500 = $929,500).Therefore, the amount of compensation expense that Crane should recognize for the year ended December 31, 2021, under the fair value method is $929,500.
Assume that you have invested $100,000 in British equities. When purchased the stock's price and the exchange rate were £50 and £0.50/$1.00 respectively. At selling time, one year after purchase, they were £45 and £0.60/$1.00. If the investor had sold £50,000 forward at the forward exchange rate of £0.55/$1.00, the dollar rate of return would be:
Final answer:
To calculate the dollar rate of return, we need to consider the initial investment, exchange rate at the time of purchase, exchange rate at the time of selling, and the amount of pounds sold forward at the forward exchange rate. The dollar rate of return for the investor would be -72.3%.
Explanation:
To calculate the dollar rate of return, we need to consider the initial investment, exchange rate at the time of purchase, exchange rate at the time of selling, and the amount of pounds sold forward at the forward exchange rate. Here's how we calculate it:
Initial investment in British equities: $100,000Exchange rate at the time of purchase: £0.50/$1.00Exchange rate at the time of selling: £0.60/$1.00Amount of pounds sold forward: £50,000Forward exchange rate: £0.55/$1.00To calculate the dollar rate of return:
Calculate the initial value of the investment in dollars: $100,000 / £0.50/$1.00 = £200,000Calculate the final value of the investment in dollars: (£50,000 / £0.55/$1.00) * £0.60/$1.00 = $54,545.45Calculate the dollar rate of return: ($54,545.45 - $200,000) / $200,000 * 100 = -72.3%Therefore, the dollar rate of return for the investor would be -72.3%.
n January the company produced 3,380 units using 13,520 pounds of the direct material and 2,824 direct labor-hours. During the month, the company purchased 14,280 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $35,100. The actual direct labor cost was $75,841 and the actual variable overhead cost was $33,828. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The labor rate variance for January is: Multiple Choice $407 F $407 U $2,833 U $2,833 F
Answer:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual direct labor hours= 2,824
Actual direct labor cost= $75,841
Actual direct labor rate= 75,841/2,824= $26.86
To calculate the direct labor rate variance, we need the standard cost information. I will provide the formula and an invented standard cost per hour to guide an answer.
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Standard cost per direct labor hour= 30
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (30 - 26.86)*2,824
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $8,867.36 favorable
It is favorable because the cost per hour was lower than estimated.
Byrd Company produces one product, a putter called GO-Putter. Byrd uses a standard cost system and determines that it should take one hour of direct labor to produce one GO-Putter. The normal production capacity for this putter is 100,000 units per year. The total budgeted overhead at normal capacity is $1,100,000 comprised of $400,000 of variable costs and $700,000 of fixed costs. Byrd applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. During the current year, Byrd produced 71,800 putters, worked 99,000 direct labor hours, and incurred variable overhead costs of $197,450 and fixed overhead costs of $734,800. Compute the predetermined variable overhead rate and the predetermined fixed overhead rate. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.) Variable Fixed Predetermined Overhead Rate $ $ Compute the applied overhead for Byrd for the year. Overhead Applied $ Compute the total overhead variance. Total Overhead Variance $
The predetermined variable overhead rate is $4.00 per direct labor hour, and the fixed overhead rate is $7.00 per direct labor hour. The total overhead applied for Byrd is $1,089,000, and the total overhead variance for the year is $156,750.
To compute the predetermined variable overhead rate for Byrd Company, we divide the total budgeted variable overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. With budgeted variable costs of $400,000 and a normal production capacity of 100,000 units or 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined variable overhead rate is $400,000 / 100,000 hours = $4.00 per direct labor hour.
Similarly, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total budgeted fixed overhead costs by the normal production capacity in terms of direct labor hours. The budgeted fixed costs are $700,000 and, again, with the normal production capacity being 100,000 direct labor hours, the predetermined fixed overhead rate is $700,000 / 100,000 hours = $7.00 per direct labor hour.
To compute the overhead applied, Byrd would multiply the actual direct labor hours by each of the predetermined overhead rates. Byrd worked 99,000 direct labor hours, so the overhead applied is (99,000 hours
$4.00 / hour for variable overhead) + (99,000 hours
$7.00 / hour for fixed overhead), which equals $396,000 + $693,000, amounting to $1,089,000.
The total overhead variance is the difference between the actual overhead incurred and the overhead applied. Byrd's total actual overhead for the year is the sum of the actual variable overhead and actual fixed overhead costs, which is $197,450 + $734,800 = $932,250. Thus, the total overhead variance is $1,089,000 (applied) - $932,250 (actual) = $156,750.
Swazzi has released a new line of sweater vests, but they are selling poorly. Store managers say they need same-day information on the company's advertising plans, so they can decide whether to discount pricing. Should store managers email you directly for this information?
Answer:
Since Store managers say they need same-day information on the company's advertising plans, store managers can email me directly for this information.
Explanation:
The situation at Swazzi is precarious since they are not selling the new line of sweater vests well enough to match their sales forecast.
Store managers who are interacting with the consumers at their different outlets will definitely try to find a way to drive sales, hence their request for same day advertising plans from the company.
Mitigating this short fall calls for escalating and responding to requests from the company and the store managers hence the need for a very fast and cost effective communication medium.
For swift communication between the company and store managers, it is okay for store managers to email their request directly and vice versa.
Store managers should not email you directly with this information as a chain of communication has been created to create reliable and manageable communication through district leaders.
Therefore, the ideal alternative is that the communication must be carried out in accordance with the strategy established for the company.
In this case, sending an email to the leader would be ineffective, as it is the district leaders who have the necessary information and data about sales follow-up and strategies to maximize sales.
Therefore, it will be through clear and effective communication and guidance provided by district leaders that store managers will improve the sales process.

Manhattan Swim Club is planning for the coming year. Investors would like to earn a 10% return on the company's $36,000,000 of assets. The company primarily incurs fixed costs to maintain the swimming pools. Fixed costs are projected to be $12,500,000 for the year. About 525,000 members are expected to swim each year. Variable costs are about $12 per swimmer. Manhattan Swim Club is a price-taker and won't be able to charge more than its competitors who charge $40 for a membership. What profit will it earn in terms of dollars? (1 point)
Answer:
$2,200,000
Explanation:
Fixed cost = $12,500,000
Variable cost = 525,000 * $12 = 6,300,000
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost = $12,500,000 + $6,300,000 = $18,800,000
Total revenue = 525,000 * $40 = $21,000,000
Profit = Total revenue - Total cost = $21,000,000 - $18,800,000 = $2,200,000
Therefore, the profit it will earn in terms of dollars is $2,200,000.
Tonya had the following items for last year: Salary $40,000 Short-term capital gain 12,000 Nonbusiness bad debt (23,000) Long-term capital gain 8,000 For the current year, Tonya had the following items: Salary $45,000 Long-term capital gain 5,000 Determine Tonya's adjusted gross income for the current year. A. $43,000 B. $45,000 C. $48,000 D. $50,000 E. $53,000
Answer:
D) $50,000
Explanation:
Tonya's adjusted gross income = salary + long term capital gains = $45,000 + $5,000 = $50,000
Non-business bad debt is unrelated to the person's business, and must be totally worthless in order to be deducted. In this case, Tonya deducted the non-business bad debt last year, so it doesn't affect this year's AGI.
Tonya's adjusted gross income for the current year is calculated by adding her salary and long-term capital gains, which add up to $50,000.
Explanation:Tonya's adjusted gross income can be determined by adding up all her incomes for the current year. The salary income Tonya has is $45,000, and from long-term capital gain, she got way much amassed $5,000. There are no short-term capital gains or non-business bad debts mentioned for the current year. Hence, her adjusted gross income for the current year would be the sum of her salary and the long-term capital gain, which is $45,000 + $5,000 = $50,000.

A resource constraint can be exploited using CCPM methodology by: Determining the priority among projects for access to the drum. Resolving any conflicts if the creation of the capacity constraint buffers adversely affects the drum schedule. Scheduling each project to start based on the drum schedule. Designating the critical chain as the chain from the first use of the constraining resource to the end of the project.
Answer:
Determining the priority among projects for access to the drum.
Explanation:
An Israeli physicist named, Eliyahu M. Goldratt developed the Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) and introduced it in his book "Critical Chain" in 1997.
The CCPM is a project management methodology used by managers to better manage a project. The CCPM ensures that the project plan is feasible and immune from any uncertainty or statistical fluctuations.
In the CCPM activity network, there are no milestones and all non-critical activities are performed as late as possible.
A resource constraint can be exploited using Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) methodology by determining the priority among projects for access to the drum (a system wide constraint).
CCPM adopts the use of drum buffers, so as to ensure extra safety is applied to a project immediately before using constrained resource.
Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $44,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $22,800. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $128,000 and receive $22,800 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $19,800 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:
Answer:
$26,000
Explanation:
The calculation of Net increase or decrease in income on replacement is shown below:-
Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years = Variable manufacturing costs × Life
= $19,800 × 4
= $79,200
Net Investment to be made in New machine = Initial investment of new machine - Traded in value of old machine
= $128,000 - $22,800
= $105,200
Net financial disadvantage of replacement = Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years - Net Investment to be made in New machine
= $79,200 - $105,200
= $26,000
So, for computing the net financial disadvantage of replacement we simply applied the above formula.
Pharoah Corporation prepared the following reconciliation for its first year of operations: Pretax financial income for 2021 $2000000 Tax exempt interest(154000) Originating temporary difference(358000) Taxable income$1488000 The temporary difference will reverse evenly over the next 2 years at an enacted tax rate of 30%. The enacted tax rate for 2021 is 25%. What amount should be reported in its 2021 income statement as the deferred portion of income tax expense
The deferred portion of income tax expense to be reported in Pharoah Corporation's 2021 income statement is $53,700, calculated based on the future enacted tax rate of 30% on the temporary difference of $358,000 that will reverse over the next two years.
The question is asking to calculate the deferred portion of income tax expense that should be reported in the income statement for 2021. Given that the originating temporary difference will reverse evenly over the next 2 years, we need to calculate the deferred tax based on the future enacted tax rate of 30%. The originating temporary difference is $358,000, which will reverse over two years, so the amount attributed to each year is $358,000 / 2 = $179,000.
Therefore, the deferred tax expense for each year will be $179,000 * 30% = $53,700. Since the question asks for the amount to be reported in 2021, only one year's worth of deferred tax expense should be considered. Hence, the amount of deferred income tax expense to be reported on the Pharoah Corporation's income statement for 2021 is $53,700.
