Q2. With the help of book please elaborate What is the difference between a corporate strategy and a competitive strategy? Give three examples of each. (Words limit up to 150)
Answer and Explanation:
Competitive and corporate strategy are very important for the success and good management of a business. Competitive strategy is one that allows a company to promote elements capable of making it different from its competitors. Examples of competitive strategy are offering lower prices, higher quality products and negotiation between customers.
Corporate strategy, on the other hand, is one that allows the company to generate elements that will increase its profit and strengthen its capacity to be more competitive. Examples of this type of strategy are the acquisition of subsidiary companies, the merger of competing companies and the restructuring of the company.

The following transactions occur for the Hamilton Manufacturers. (a) Provide services to customers on account for $4,600. (b) Purchase equipment by signing a note with the bank for $10,200. (c) Pay advertising of $1,000 for the current month.
Answer:
Question wants to know how the Accounting equation is affected by these transactions.
a. Provide services to customers on account for $4,600.
Assets will increase by $4,600.
Equity will increased by $4,600
This is because, Accounts receivable will increase on account of these services being offered on account and it is an Asset account.
This transaction also brings in revenue which is an equity account so Equity will increase as well.
b. Purchase equipment by signing a note with the bank for $10,200.
Assets will increase by $10,200
Liabilities will increase by $10,200
Equipment is an asset which is why assets are increasing. This purchase was funded by a Note which is a liability so liabilities increase as well.
c. Pay advertising of $1,000 for the current month.
Assets decrease by $1,000.
Equity decrease by $1,000.
The advertising was paid for by cash so cash (asset) will reduce as a result. Advertising is an expense and expenses reduce revenue which is in equity so Equity reduces as well.

Top Knot, Inc. is expected to pay a $2.50 per share dividend next year. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a 5% growth rate forever. If the stock currently sells for $48 per share, what is the cost of equity
Answer:
10.21
Explanation:
Dividend= 2.50
The growth rate is 5%
The current stock price is $48
Therefore the cost of equity can be calculated as follows
= 2.50/48 +5/100
= 0.0521 + 0.05
= 0.1021×100
= 10.21
Hence the cost of equity is 10.21

Your company has a policy to use long-term debt to finance inventory and receivables.
A. This is a restrictive short-term financing policy
B. This policy has higher carrying cost
C. This policy has higher shortage cost
D. This policy leads to higher default risk
Answer:
D. This policy leads to higher default risk.

Assume that you have a three-year-old daughter and you have come to appreciate the power of saving and investing. Can you open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name so that she can benefit from many years of compounding
Answer:
No.
You cannot open up and put money into a Roth IRA in your child's name.
Explanation:
The IRS allows that any child, regardless of age, can contribute to an IRA if they have earned income. This means that only a child that has earned income can have an IRA opened for him or her. As the child is still underage, the IRA must be set up as a custodial account by the parent or another adult. This implies that the child cannot operate the account during the period she is underage but can have money saved in the account from her earned income.
Wallaby Kite Company, a small Melbourne firm that sells kites on the Web, wants a master budget for the three months beginning January 1, 2012. It desires an ending minimum cash balance of $20,000 each month. Sales are forecast at an average wholesale selling price of $8 per kite. Merchandise costs average $4 per kite. All sales are on credit, payable within 30 days, but experience has shown that 60 percent of current sales are collected in the current month, 30 percent in the next month, and 10 percent in the month thereafter. Bad debts are negligible.
In January, Wallaby Kite is beginning just-in-time (JIT) deliveries from suppliers, which means that purchases will equal expected sales. On January 1, purchases will cease until inventory decreases to $24,000, after which time purchases will equal sales. Purchases during any given month are paid in full during the following month. Monthly operating expenses are as follows:
Wages and salaries....$60,000
Insurance expired...........500
Depreciation.................1,000
Miscellaneous.............10,000
$1,000/month + 10% of quarterly sales over
Rent...........................$40,000
Cash dividends of $6,000 are to be paid quarterly, beginning January 15, and are declared on the 15th of the previous month. All operating expenses are paid as incurred, except insurance, depreciation, and rent. Rent of $1,000 is paid at the beginning of each month, and the additional 10 percent of sales is paid quarterly on the 10th of the month following the end of the quarter. The next rent settlement date is January 10.

Explanation:
During 2021, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $160,000. By the end of 2021, cash collections on these accounts total $110,000. Pave estimates that 25% of the uncollected accounts will be uncollectible. In 2022, the company writes off uncollectible accounts of $10,000. Required:
Answer:
Uncollectible amounts $12,000 debit
_____ Allowance for uncollectible amounts $12,000 credit
(Being the record of uncollectible)
Allowance for uncollectible amounts $10,000 debit
______ Accounts receivables $100,000 credit
(To record write off 2021)
Balance of the Allowance accounts:
$12,500 - 10,000 = 2,500
Allowance uncollectible amounts $15,000 debit
_____ Accounts receivables $15,000 credit
(To record write off 2022)
Explanation:
•The concluding part of the above question is record the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts on December 31 2021
• Record write off of accounts receivables in 2022
Sales $160,000
Collection $110,000
AR $50,000
The above is multiplied by 25% unexpected uncontrollable amount : $12,500
The Allowance method will not recognize the additional uncollectible amount expense when doing a writer off. It will only do it when the company does the adjusting entry considering their rates and ageing of their accounts

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $34 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:
Per Unit 21,000 Units
Per Year
Direct materials $ 14 $ 294,000
Direct labor 12 252,000
Variable manufacturing overhead 2 42,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, traceable 9 * 189,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead, allocated 12 252,000
Total cost $ 49 $ 1,029,000
*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).
1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
Financial (disadvantage) ..................
2. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?
Financial advantage ...................

Angle Company started business on January 1. During the year, the company purchased merchandise with an invoice price of $500,000. Angle also paid $20,000 freight on the merchandise. During the year, Angle also returned $80,000 of the merchandise to its suppliers. All purchases were paid for in a timely manner, and a $10,000 cash discount was taken. $418,000 of the merchandise was sold for $627,000. What is the December 31 balance in the Inventory account
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, the ending balance in inventory account is computed as seen below
= Merchandise purchased - merchandise withdrawn - Merchandise returned to suppliers + Cash discount taken
= $500,000 - $418,000 - $80,000 + $10,000
= $12,000
Therefore, the balance on the inventory account as at December 31 is $12,000
Romano Corporation has three operating divisions and requires a 12% return on all investments. Selected information is presented here:
Required:
Calculate the missing amounts for each division. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Margin", "Turnover" and "ROI" to 2 decimal places.)
Division X Division Y Division Z
Revenues $1,006,000
Operating income $105,600 $104,900
Operating assets $419,800 $298,200
Margin % 14.00 % %
Turnover turn(s) 1.00 turn(s) 3.00 turn(s)
ROI % % %
Residual income $28,690
Answer:
DIVISION X
Revenues = $1006000
Operating income = $105600
Operating assets = $419800
Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $105600*100/$1006000 = 10.50%
Turnover = (Turnover/Assets) = $1006000/$419800 = 2.4 times
ROI = (income*100/assets) = 105600*100/419800 = 25.15%
Residual Income = (105600-419800*12%) = $55224
DIVISION Y
Revenues = $298200*1 = $298200
Operating income = $298200*14% = $41748
Operating assets = $298200
Margin = 14%
Turnover = 1 times
ROI = (income*100/assets) = $41748*100/$298200 = 14%
Residual Income = (41748-298200*12%) = $5964
DIVISION Z
Revenues = $635083.33 * 3 = $1905250
Operating income = $104900
Operating assets = (104900-28690)*100/12 = $635083.33
Margin = (Income*100/Revenue) = $104900*100/$1905250 = 5.51%
Turnover = 3 times
ROI = (income*100/assets = 5.51% * 3 = 16.53%
Residual Income = $28690

radar plumbers do plumbing for household.Their service for the year bought in an income of R86000 .They paid out R36 200 for material ,R12400 for water and electricity,R3 800 for telephone and R18 900 for other expenses.. calculate whether the business make profit or loss
Answer:
the business is making a profit of R14700
Explanation:
A business earns a profit if total cost is less than revenue and a business earns a loss of total cost exceeds revenue
total cost = R36 200 + ,R12400 + ,R3 800 + R18 900 = 71,300
total revenue = R86000
revenue exceeds cost, so a profit is being made
profit = R86000 - 71,300 = R14,700
An employee attends work while she should be hospitalized due to the fear of losing her job. Although the situation only affects one employee, it may result in a serious health emergency, fulfilling what facet of moral intensity
Answer:
Magnitude of consequences
Explanation:
The entire quantity of harm (gain) that occurs from the planned conduct is referred to as the scale of outcomes, and moral intensity rises as the level of suffering rises.
The amount of emotion a man feels for the implications of a moral choice is referred to as moral intensity. When a person's moral intensity is strong, his or her morality awareness and judgement are usually enhanced, leading to judgments not to participate in immoral action.

A measure of risk-adjusted performance that is often used is the Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe ratio is calculated as the risk premium of an asset divided by its standard deviation. The standard deviations and returns of the funds over the past 10 years are listed here. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for each of these funds. Assume that the expected return and standard deviation of the company stock will be 16 percent and 58 percent. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for the company stock. How appropriate is the Sharpe ratio for these assets? When would you use the Sharpe ratio?

Bledsoe S&P 500 Index Fund 10.15% 23.85%
Bledsoe Small Cap Fund 14.83 29.62
Bledsoe Large Company Stock Fund 11.08 26.13
Bledsoe Bond Fund 8.15 10.34
Answer:
Explanation:
Sharpe ratio is the measure of the excess return per unit of risk in an investment asset or trading strategy.
To calculate the Sharpe of the following annual return using the formula:
Sharpe ratio = [tex]\dfrac{R_p-R_f}{\sigma _p}[/tex]
where;
[tex]R_p[/tex] = return of portfolio asset
From the given information, the risk-free rate [tex]R_f[/tex] wasn't given, So let's assume that the risk-free rate [tex]R_f[/tex] = 3.2%
∴
For Bledsoe S&P 500 Index fund
Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{10.15\%-3.2\%}{23.85\%}[/tex]
= 0.2914
Small-cap Funs Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{14.83\%-3.2\%}{29.62\%}[/tex]
= 0.3926
Large company stock Fund Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{11.08\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}[/tex]
= 0.3016
Bond Fund Sharpe Ratio = [tex]\dfrac{8.15\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}[/tex]
= 0.1894

Bledsoe S&P - 10.15% 23.85% 0.2914
500 Index fund
Small Cap Fund 14.83% 29.62% 0.3926
Large Company - 11.08% 26.13% 0.3016
Stock Fund
Bond Fund 8.15% 10.34% 0.1894
As depicted in the table above, the small-cap fund has the highest return per unit of risk, and company stock has the lowest return per unit of risk.
The ratio is clearly appropriate for the index funds. The whole risk is reflected by the Sharpe ratio, which is believed to be completely diversified, and systemic risk is reduced.
It is good for other stock funds since the overall risk is crucial for small investors who cannot readily diversify.
It is also acceptable to invest in bond funds since we may compare their Sharpe ratio to stock funds and take a financial investment decision.
We would take and make use of the Sharpe ratio when:
Comparing various assets with differing risks, then the Sharpe ratio would be applied to alter the "unit."We are concerned about any type of volatility.Agee Technology, Inc., issued 9% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $1,840 million on July 1, 2021, at a price of $1,810 million. For bonds of similar risk and maturity, the market yield is 10%. Interest is paid semi-annually on June 30 and December 31.
Prepare the journal entry to record interest at the effective interest rate at December 31. What would be the amount(s) related to the bonds that Agee would report in its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, if it uses the direct method?
Answer:
Part 1
Journal entry to record interest at the effective interest rate at December 31.
Debit : Interest expense $181.45
Credit : Bond Payable $181.45
Part 2
the amount(s) related to the bonds that would be recorded in statement of cash flows
Cash flow from Operating Activities - Interest expense $181.45
Cash flow from Financing Activities - Repayment of Bond $18.55
Explanation:
The bond amortization table is the only tool that can supply us with further information about the Bond Interest, Bond Capital Repayment and Balance after Installment.
We can simply construct an amortization by entering the following data in the financial calculator,
FV = $1,840 million
PV = - $1,810 million
PMT = ($1,810 million x 9%) ÷ 2 = $81.45
I/YR = 10 %
P/YR = 2
N = 3.14
then, SHIFT Amort gives,

The balance sheet value of a firm's inventory is $60,000. Suppose that the firm purchases supplies at a cost of $3,500 and adds them to inventory. A day later, the market value of the recently purchased supplies changes to $1,000.
Assuming no other changes to inventory, and using the historical cost method, what is the final balance sheet value of inventory?
Note: Students with prior accounting experience should not apply the monthly "lower of cost or market" adjustment. This is a day-to-day fluctuation.
Answer:
$63,500
Explanation:
Calculatuon to determine the Final balance sheet value of inventory using the historical cost method
Using this formula
Final balance sheet value of inventory=Balance sheet value of firm's inventory+Supplies
Let plug in the formula
Final balance sheet value of inventory= $60,000+$3,500
Final balance sheet value of inventory= $63,500
Therefore Final balance sheet value of inventory is $63,500

Explanation:
False. That is one of many.
If a firm is privately owned, and its stock is not traded in public markets, then we cannot measure its beta for use in the CAPM model, we cannot observe its stock price for use in the dividend growth model, and we don't know what the risk premium is for use in the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium method. All this makes it especially difficult to estimate the cost of equity for a private company. True False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Beta enables us to be able to calculate the risk of a stock in relation to how the market is moving. This is known as the systematic risk. Beta, needs to be calculated on based on the trading data of the stock.
If the stock is not publicly traded, it would not have the trading data required to find the beta. As we cannot get the beta, we would be unable it to calculate the return on stock and therefore the dividend growth model.

What is unusual about this supply curve? What might this be true? b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets?
Answer:
a) Draw the demand and supply curves. I have attached the supply and demand curves below
What is unusual about this supply curve? What might this be true? What is inusual is that the supply curve is vertical, which means that the supply for this market is perfectly inelastic. A perfectly inelastic supply occurs when supply does not respond to price, it stays at the same quantity regardless of price level and price changes.
b) What are the equilibrium price and quantity of tickets?
The equilibrium price is $8 and the equilibrium quantity is 8 000 tickets. The reason is that at the price of $8 both the quantity supplied and demanded is equal to 8 000 tickets.

Curley Publishers Inc. projected sales of 51,000 diaries for 2016. The estimated January 1, 2016, inventory is 3,600 units, and the desired December 31, 2016, inventory is 5,000 units. What is the budgeted production (in units) for 2016
Answer:
47,900
Explanation:
The projected sales for curley publishers is 51,000
The beginning inventory is 3,600
The ending inventory is 5,000
The budgeted projection units in 2016 can be calculated as follows
= 51,000+5000
= 51,500-3600
= 47,900
Hence budgeted projection units is 47,900
