Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much would Becker Company need to borrow to achieve its desired ending cash balance
Using this formula
Desired ending cash balance=[Ending cash balance-Budgeted beginning cash balance+
(Budgeted cash disbursements-budgeted cash receipts)]
Let plug in the formula
Desired ending cash balance=[$100,000-$70,000+($254,000-$252,000)]
Desired ending cash balance=$30,000+$2,000
Desired ending cash balance=$32,000
Therefore The amount that Becker Company need to borrow to achieve its desired ending cash balance is $32,000
A firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as: multiple choice 1 perfectly competitive. oligopoly. pure monopoly. monopolistically competitive. b. Firms in this industry will likely earn: multiple choice 2 an economic profit. a normal profit. an economic loss. c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that: multiple choice 3 economic losses will become smaller. normal profits will increase. economic profits will increase. economic profits will fall.
Answer:
a. Oligopoly.
b. an economic profit.
c. economic profits will fall.
Explanation:
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, which may either be similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;
I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.
II. It's a market that is typically controlled by many small firms.
III. Difficult entry to new firms.
In this scenario, a business firm is operating in the United States with only two other competitors in the industry. Thus, the following can be stated about the business firm;
a. It is likely this industry would be characterized as an oligopoly.
b. Firms in this industry will likely earn an economic profit.
c. If foreign firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall.
In conclusion, a business firm operating in this industry (oligopolistic market) will likely earn an economic profit. Also, if foreign business firms begin supplying the product, increasing the number of competitors, it is likely that economic profits will fall because the industry is now being competitive and controlled by other business firms.

Metaline Corp. uses the weighted average method for inventory costs and had the following information available for the year. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year: Beginning Work in Process (30% complete, $2,500) 340 units Ending inventory of Work in Process (70% complete) 540 units Total units started during the year
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Your question isn't complete as you didn't provide the value for the total units started during the year. Let's assume that it is 3000.
Firstly, the units transferred for the year will be:
= Opening Stock + Total units started during the year - Ending inventory
= 340 + 3000 - 540
= 2800
Therefore, the equivalent units of production for the year will be:
= Transferred Units + (Closing work in progress × percentage of completion)
= 2800 + (70% × 540)
= 2800 + (0.7 × 540)
= 2800 + 378
= 3178
Therefore, the equivalent units of production for the year is 3178.

Baltimore Inc. reported pretax GAAP income of $45,000 in 2020. In analyzing differences between GAAP income and taxable income, the company determined that it had deducted $5,000 in nondeductible fines and added $2,800 in tax-exempt municipal interest revenue to GAAP income. The statutory tax rate is 25%. Determine the following:
a. Taxable income
b. Income tax payable
c. Income tax expense
d. Net income
Answer:
Baltimore Inc.
a. Total taxable income = $47,200
b. Income tax payable = $11,800
c. Income tax expense = $11,250
d. Net income = $33,750
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
GAAP determined pretax income = $45,000
Add nondeductible fines 5,000
Less exempt municipal interest revenue 2,800
Total taxable income $47,200
Income tax (25%) 11,800
Income tax expense:
GAAP determined pretax income = $45,000
Income tax (25%) 11,250
Net income $33,750
b) The differences between the GAAP determined pretax income and the tax determined taxable income are due to permanent differences (not temporary). This implies that there are no deferred tax assets and liabilities and no recoveries from deferred taxes. However, in reporting its financial performance for the year, Baltimore Inc. still has to comply with the GAAP rules and not the tax rules.

Your Competitive Intelligence team reports that a wave of product liability lawsuits is likely to cause Digby to pull the product Daze entirely off the market this year. Assume Digby scraps all capacity and inventory this round, completely writing off those assets and escrowing the proceeds to a settlement fund, and assume these lawsuits will have no effect on any other products of Digby or other companies. Without Digby's product Daze how much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment? Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year. Ignore current inventories. Figures in thousands
8,464
4,630
8,635
7,485
4,047
9,614
9,260
Answer:
The total capacity of the market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.
Explanation:
In order to completely answer the question, the complete question is found online. This question was missing some table attachments which are attached with it.
From the table, it is first noted that the core products are listed which are as below:
AxeBoltBuzzDeft DimNow as mentioned in the question, deft is to be ignored so the remaining options are:
AxeBoltBuzzDimNow the capacities of these are included which are found from the table and are as follow:
Axe=2050
Bolt=1040
Buzz=1040
Dim=1300
So the total capacity of 1 shift is
Axe+Bolt+Buzz+Dim=2050+1040+1040+1300=5430 units
As there are two shifts running so the total capacity is 5430x2=10860
So the total capacity of market in core products less the Digby's Deft is 10860 thousand units.
Marston Manufacturing Company is considering a project that requires an investment in new equipment of $3,600,000, with an additional $180,000 in shipping and installation costs. Marston estimates that its accounts reveivable and inventories need to increase by $720,000 to support the new project, some of which is financed by $288,000 increase in spontaneous liabilites (accounts payable and accruals).
The total cost of Martson's new equipment is ___________
a. $3,780,000
b. $4,212,000
c. $720,000
Answer:
a. $3,780,000
Explanation:
According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows
New equipment = $3,600,000
Shipping and installation = $180,000
We can calculate the total cost of Martson's new equipment by using following formula,
Total Cost = New equipment cost + Shipping and Installation cost
By putting the value, we get
Total Cost = $3,600,000 + $180,000
= $3,780,000
Novak Corp. has 6000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 12000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $55800 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above data,
Preferred shares = 6,000 shares × $100 = $600,000
Dividend on preference shares = $600,000 × 5% = $30,000 per year
Dividend declared in 2019
= $55,800
Preferred dividend in 2019 = $30,000 × 2 = $60,000
Dividend declared in 2020 =$55,800
Preferred dividend declared in 2020 = $30,000 + $4,200 = $34,200
Dividend paid to common stock holders = $55,800 - $34,200 = $21,600
Present Value of Ordinary Annuity Period/Rate 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10 7.7217 7.3601 7.0236 6.7101 6.4177 11 8.3064 7.8869 7.4987 7.1390 6.8052 12 8.8633 8.3838 7.9427 7.5361 7.1607 13 9.3936 8.8527 8.3577 7.9038 7.4869 Knowledge Check 01 Clean Tel, Inc. is considering investing in an 11-year project with annual cash inflows of $1,000,000. These cash inflows have an initial investment of $7,139,000. At what discount rate would this present value be the same as the initial investment
Answer:
The discount rate of 8% for 11 year period provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.
Explanation:
Using the table of present value of annuity provided, we can check the rate and time period which is return the present value of cash flows from the project to be equal to initial Investment.
We are told that the Project's life is expected to be 11 Years. Thus using the 11 year period from the table we can see the following rates,
11 Year Period
Rate = 5% , Annuity Factor = 8.3064
Rate = 6% , Annuity Factor = 7.8869
Rate = 7% , Annuity Factor = 7.4987
Rate = 8% , Annuity Factor = 7.1390
Rate = 9% , Annuity Factor = 6.8052
We know that the annual cash flows from the project is $1,000,000 and we know the Initial Outlay is $7,139,000.
Multiplying the annual cash flow from the above annuity factors for each rate we can see which rate provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to initial outlay.
Rate = 5% , Present value = 8.3064 * 1000000 = $8,306,400
Rate = 6% , Annuity Factor = 7.8869 * 1000000 = $7,886,900
Rate = 7% , Annuity Factor = 7.4987 * 1000000 = $7,498,700
Rate = 8% , Annuity Factor = 7.1390 * 1000000 = $7,139,000
Rate = 9% , Annuity Factor = 6.8052 * 1000000 = $6,805,200
From the above calculation we can see that the rate of 8% provides the present value of annual cash flows to be equal to the initial investment.

You discover a technical ‘anomaly’ in the US stock market. You find that stocks that go up X% or more 2 days in a row have an expected alpha of X/100% the following day (for example if a stock goes up 6% and 9%, then the next day its expected alpha is 0.06%). Suppose stock A has a BID-ASK spread of 0.2%, and has gone up 10% and 15% percent in the last 2 days. What is your expected profit (in dollars) if you choose to implement your strategy and take a $1000 position in the stock for one day?
Answer:
expected profit = -$ 1 ( this means that you incurred a loss )
Explanation:
Given that the alpha is calculated as : X / 100%
And
stock A has a spread of = 0.2% and has gone up by 10% and 15%
The alpha = 10 / 100% = 0.10%
Hence when you take a $1000 position the profit = 1000 * (0.001 - 0.002 )
= 1000 * (-0.001 ) = -$1

Alberto believes that the negotiated labor-management agreement requires the company to reimburse him for the extra mileage he has to drive. Management disagrees. Alberto has decided to file a charge that management is not abiding by the terms of the negotiated agreement. Alberto's complaint is called a grievance.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
A) true
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Management at Enomoto Enterprises has assigned Alberto to work at two different facilities, which will require him to commute an extra 25 miles on the days he must work at both plants. Alberto believes that the negotiated labor-management agreement requires the company to reimburse him for the extra mileage he has to drive. Management disagrees. Alberto has decided to file a charge that management is not abiding by the terms of the negotiated agreement. In this case, Alberto's complaint is called a grievance.
Grievance handling can be regarded as the management of employee
dissatisfaction as well as employee complaints such as workplace harassment, management not following terms of negotiated agreement,
wage cuts as well as favouritism. formal grievance handling procedures can be set up by management to give enablement for employees to raise their concerns. Unresolved Grievances could result in form of collective disputes and the morale and efficiency of of employees can be lowered

i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 8/100
= 8%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 14%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 14% - 8%
= 6%
b. n = 100. d = 4. ROO = 5%.
i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 4/100
= 4%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 9%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 9% - 4%
= 5%
c. n = 100. d = 8. ROO = 10%.
i. Sample rate of deviation will be:
= Number of Deviations / Sample size
= 8/100
= 8%
ii. Upper limit rate of deviation = 12.7%
iii. Allowance for sampling risk will be:
= Upper Limit Rate of Deviation - Sample rate of devaition
= 12.7% - 8%
= 4.7%

Before negotiating a long-term construction contract, build- ing contractors must carefully estimate the total cost of completing the project. Benzion Barlev of New York University proposed a model for total cost of a long-term contract based on the normal distribution(Journal of Business Finance and Accounting, July 1995). For one particular construction contract, Barlev assumed total cost, x, to be normally distributed with mean $850,000 and standard deviation $170,000. The revenue, R, promised to the contractor is $1,00,000.
Required:
a. The contract will be profitable if revenue exceeds total cost. What is the probability that the co ntract will be profitable for the contractor?
b. What is the probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor?
c. Suppose the contractor has the opportunity to renegotiate the contract. What value of R should the contractor strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit?
Answer:
Benzion Barlev of New York UniversityNEGOTIATION OF A LONG-TERM CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
a. The probability that the contract will be profitable for the contractor is:
= 81%
b. The probability that the project will result in a loss for the contractor is:
= 19%
c. The value of R that the contractor should strive for in order to have a .99 probability of making a profit is:
= $1,246,100.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Mean total cost (x) = $850,000
Standard deviation = $170,000
Revenue = $1,000,000
Probability of being profitable = (R - x)/std deviation
= ($1,000,000 - $850,000)/$170,000
= $150,000/$170,000
= 0.882
From Z table, 0.882 = 0.81057 = 81%
Probability of loss = 19% (100 - 81%)
To have a 99% (0.99) probability of making a profit, Z value = 2.33 from the Z table:
(R - x)/std deviation = 2.33
(R - x) = 2.33 * $170,000
= $396,100
(R - $850,000) = $396,100
R = $396,100 + $850,000
R = $1,246,100
Rabbit Foot Motors has been approached by a new customer with an offer to purchase 5,000 units of its hands-free, Wi-Fi-enabled automotive model—the SMAK—at a price of $18,000 per automobile. Rabbit Foot’s other sales would not be affected by this new customer offer. Rabbit Foot normally produces 100,000 units of its SMAK model per year but only plans to produce and sell 90,000 in the coming year. The normal sales price is $35,000 per SMAK. Unit cost information for the normal level of activity is as follows:
Fixed overhead will not be affected by whether or not the special order is accepted.
1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)?
a. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
b. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead
c. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
d. Normal price, direct materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and fixed overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
a. increase by $_______
b. decrease by $_________
Answer: 1. Special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. Increases by $10,000,000
Explanation:
1. What are the relevant costs and benefits of the two alternatives (accept or reject the special order)
These include special order price, direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead.
2. By how much will operating income increase or decrease if the order is accepted?
This will be:
= Units × (special order price-variable costs)
= 5000 × ($18000 - $10000 - $2000 - $4000)
= 5000 × $2000
=$10,000,000
Therefore, it increases by $10,000,000
Frieda Inc. is considering a capital expansion project. The initial investment of undertaking this project is $105,500. This expansion project will last for five years. The net operating cash flows from the expansion project at the end of year 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are estimated to be $22,500, $25,800, $33,000, $45,936 and $58,500 respectively. Frieda has a capital structure consisting of 20% debt and 80% equity. The after-tax cost of debt is 16% and the cost of equity is 18.5%.
What is Frieda%u2019s weighted average cost of capital?
a. 16%
b. 18%
c. 24%
d. 22%
Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
w represents the weight of each component D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively r represents the cost of each componentrD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Suppose Abercrombie & Fitch sells clothing in a monopolistically competitive market and that a farmer sells oranges in a perfectly competitive market.
1.) Draw the type of demand curve likely faced by Abercrombie & Fitch. Label this line DAF.
2.) Draw the type of demand curve faced by an individual orange farmer. Label this line DOranges. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answer:
Please check the attached images for the required demand curves
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time.
How many of each type of lamp must be sold to optimize total contribution margin?
a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
b. 0 classic lamps; 9,000 fancy lamps
c. 18,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
d. 0 classic lamps; 30,000 fancy lamps
e. 10,000 classic lamps; 10,000 fancy lamps
Answer:
a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps
Explanation:
To determine the optimise total contribution, we need to calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for both the lamps. Then the result of whichever is higher would be produced.
Moreover, as there is no limitation on how many lamps can be produced, therefore, we would assume that we can make as many as we want up to the limit of machine-hours available. The calculation is done as follows:
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one classic lamp
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 13 / 0.2
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 65
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one fancy lamp
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 21 / 0.5
Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 42
Since classic lamp has the higher contribution margin per hour. Therefore, all the machine hours would be used to make classic lamps.
= 18,000 / 0.2
= 90,000
Hence, 90,000 classic lamps would be sold while no fancy lamps will be sold to optimise total contribution (which would be 65 x 18,000 = $1,170,000).
g Customers arrive at the window at a rate of 12 per hour and it take the teller 4 minutes, on average, to serve a customer. Use this information to calculate the requested items in columns a and b. The BHFC's operations manager is considering adding a second window to this branch which would cost the bank $20,000 annually. The operations manager also estimates the bank's revenue will increase by $2,000 annually for each minute of reduction in custimer waiting time. Should the BHFC add the second window?
Answer:
The BHFC
The BHFC should add the second window as it will half customer's waiting time and increase revenue for the branch.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Customers arrival rate at the window = 12/hour
equivalent to 12/60 minutes or 1/5 minutes
Time the teller takes to serve a customer = 4 minutes
Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour = 48 minutes
Cost of adding a second window to the branch = $20,000
Savings in reducing customer waiting time = $2,000
Average customer waiting time = 4 minutes
Total time to serve 12 customers in an hour using the second window = 24 minutes (48/2)
Therefore, customers waiting time will half to 2 minutes (4/2)
Increase in revenue by the reduction in customer waiting time = $2,000 * 24 = $48,000
Net saving = $28,000 ($48,000 - $20,000)
