Answer:
Note that in California, there are THREE ways to create agency: by agreement, by ratification, and by estoppel.
Explanation:
1. Written or expressed - An oral or written contract in which the parties state the contract's terms and express their intentions in words. We agree orally to the terms of our agency relationship, wherein you will hire me to market your property or represent you as a buyer's agent.
2. Implied - A contract under which the agreement of the parties is demonstrated by their acts and conduct. Example: "I'll help you buy a house; so don't work with anyone else because I will be your agent. Let's go look at some houses today."
3. Ostensible Agency - An actual agency relationship that arises by the actions of the parties rather than by express agreement. For example, the owner of a property knows a broker is showing the owner's vacant lot to prospective buyers without authority to do so. Unless the owner takes steps to stop such unauthorized showings, the law considers that third parties have a just cause to believe the broker to be the "owner's broker." This situation is called an ostensible agency because on the surface an agency appears to exist. Once this type of agency is created, the owner is prevented by estoppel* from denying its existence.
*Estoppel - A legal doctrine by which a person is prevented from asserting rights or facts that are inconsistent with a previous position or representation made by act, conduct, or silence.
4. Ratification - A method of creating an agency relationship in which the principal (seller or buyer) accepts the conduct of someone who acted without prior authorization as the principal's agent. Example: A licensee who shows a property without the owner's prior approval, and then the owner agrees to work with the agent to sell the property.

Like all companies, McDonald's needs to continue identifying, developing, and introducing new products. One recent concept McDonald's identified is a vegan burger. After assessing the concept, McDonald's research and development kitchen developed a vegan burger that they felt would be appealing to the 13% of Americans that are vegetarian or vegan. Before rolling the vegan burger out, McDonald's wanted to examine the viability in the real world, but on a limited basis. McDonald's next step should be to ________ the vegan burger.
a. test market
b. concept test
c. field exam
d. commercialize
Answer:
a. test market
Explanation:
The test market consists of a strategy used by organizations to assess how consumers will be receptive to a new product or service launched. In this step, companies select a group of consumers or a specific region with a profile aligned with the new product, to feel the reaction of the market, and then be able to distribute the product on a large scale. After defining the target audience of the test market, the companies monitor the promotion and distribution strategies, carrying out a kind of test to verify the errors and successes of the marketing campaign and the possibilities of the insertion of the new product in the mass market to be successful .
This is an advantageous strategy for companies, due to the lower cost associated with a large-scale launch, the monitoring of high risks, and the possibility of feeling the market, making corrections and checking the demand for the product.

Assume a central bank follows a rule that requires it to take steps to keep the price level constant. If the long run price level fell because of a decrease in aggregate demand and a subsequent increase in short run aggregate supply that kept output unchanged, then Question 5 options: a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output. b) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would decrease output. c) the central bank would have to increase the money supply which would increase output. d) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would increase output.
Answer:
a) the central bank would have to decrease the money supply which would decrease output.
Explanation:
In the case when the long run price would fall due to the reduction in the aggregate demand and there is a rise of short run aggregate supply so the central bank would have to reduce the money supply due to this it automatically reduced the output as it shows the direct relation between the money supply and the output
Therefore the correct option is a.

Two years ago, you purchased 100 shares of General Mills Corporation. Your purchase price was $53 a share, plus a total commission of $34 to purchase the stock. During the last two years, you have received the following dividend amounts: $1.90 per share for the first year and $2.03 per share the second year. Also, assume that at the end of two years, you sold your General Mills stock for $59 a share minus a total commission of $41 to sell the stock.
Required:
a. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you purchased it.
b. Calculate the dividend yield for your General Mills stock at the time you sold it.
c. Calculate the total return for your General Mills investment when you sold the stock at the end of two years.
d. Calculate the annualized holding period yield for your General Mills investment at the end of the two-year period.
Answer:
Purchase Price $53 * 100 = $5300
Commission = $53
Total Cost $5353
D1 = $1.90 * 100 = 190
D2 = $2.03 * 100 = 203
Sale value of shares $59*100 $5900
Less: Commission $41
Net sale value $5859
a. Dividend yield at the time of purchase:
= D1/P0
= $1.90/$53
= 3.59%
b. Dividend yield at the time of sale:
= D2/P1
= $2.03/$41
= 4.95%
c. Total Return for 2 years = $5859 + $190 + $203 - $5353
Total Return for 2 years = $899
d. Annualized holding period yield = ($899/$5353) * 1/2
Annualized holding period yield = 0.0839716
Annualized holding period yield = 8.40%

A tenant occupying 20,000 square feet in your building has two years remaining on their lease. You have a good relationship with this tenant and you assess the probability that they will renew their lease at 75%. If your tenant renews the lease, they will pay $15/sf in rent. If the tenant vacates, you expect that a new tenant will pay $18/sf. What is the gross rental income you expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires
Answer: $315000
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the gross rental income that one will expect to receive for this space in the year after the lease expires goes thus:
= [(75% x 15) + (25% x 18)] x 20,000
= [(0.75 × 15) + (0.25 × 18)] × 20000
= (11.25 + 4.5) × 20000
= 15.75 × 20000
= 315,000
Therefore, the gross rental income is $315000
In its first year of operations, Crane Company recognized $29,500 in service revenue, $6,100 of which was on account and still outstanding at year-end. The remaining $23,400 was received in cash from customers. The company incurred operating expenses of $15,500. Of these expenses, $12,010 were paid in cash; $3,490 was still owed on account at year-end. In addition, Crane prepaid $2,300 for insurance coverage that would not be used until the second year of operations.
1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting. 2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and the first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting.
The first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $23400
Less: Expenses = $14310
Net income = $9090
The first year's net earnings under the accrual basis of accounting will be:
Service revenue = $29500
Less: Expenses = $15500
Net income = $14000
2. Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
It should be noted that the accrual basis of accounting gives decision makers more useful information. This is due to the fact that the decision makers will probably want to know the revenue and the expenses that were incurred for a particular period and every other necessary details.
You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with US-Scareways. You know that in 38% of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup, your friend Walter has offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with 72% probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?
Answer:
The probability of you making it home for the holidays is:
= 45%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Probability of Scareways flights being canceled = 38%
Probability of successfully traveling with Scareways = 62% (100 - 38%)
Probability of getting a seat in Walter's car = 72%
Therefore, the probability of making it home for the holidays = the combined probabilities (either Scareways flight or Walter's car)
= 62% * 72%
= 0.62 * 0.72
= 0.4464
= 45%
The board of directors of Swifty Corporation declared a cash dividend of $2.75 per share on 40000 shares of common stock on July 15, 2020. The dividend is to be paid on August 15, 2020, to stockholders of record on July 31, 2020. The effects of the journal entry to record the payment of the dividend on August 15, 2020, are to increase stockholders’ equity and decrease assets. decrease liabilities and decrease assets. increase stockholders’ equity and increase liabilities. decrease stockholders’ equity and decrease liabilities.
Answer:
a. Decrease liabilities and decrease assets
Explanation:
First option "Decrease liabilities and decrease assets" is the correct option as far as only payment part of Journal entry is concerned.
Since Dividend is declared on 15 July on That date entry would have been:
Shareholder's Equity........Dr
To Dividend Payable(Liability) A/c......Cr
Then, on Payment date i.e. 15 august entry would be:
Dividend Payable(Liability)A/c.......Dr
To cash/Bank A/c..........Cr
Therefore, Liability is Decrease also asset is decreased on 15th August, 2020.
Due to better internet job searching websites, the job finding rate increases in the recent years. In a survey studying the job finding rate in Jan 2019, 420 out of 10,000 unemployed workers report that they found jobs. In the same period of time, a similar survey studying employment status reports that 29 out of 10,000 employed workers left their jobs. What is the steady unemployment rate
Answer:
6.46%
Explanation:
Job finding rate (F) = Rate at which the unemployed people get job
Job Separation rate (S) = Rate at which the employed people loose their job
Steady state level of unemployment = Ratio of Unemployed people to the Total labor (i.e U/L)
Formulae used to calculate the steady state level of unemployment is: U/L = S / S + F
Where F = (420/10,000)*100 = 4.2%
Where S = (29/10,000)*100 = 0.29%
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / (0.29 + 4.2)
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.29 / 4.49
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 0.0646
Steady unemployment rate (U/L) = 6.46%
The operating revenues of the three largest business segments for Time Warner, Inc., for a recent year follow. Each segment includes a number of businesses, examples of which are indicated in parentheses.
Time Warner, Inc.
Segment Revenues
(in millions)
Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700
Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200
Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600
Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:
Turner 22%
Home Box Office 47%
Warner Bros. 32%
Determine the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio. Enter amounts in millions. When required, round to the nearest whole millionth (for example, round 5,688.7 to 5,689). Round contribution margin ratio to the nearest whole percent for each segment from the information given. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. 40% 35% 25% Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros. Revenues Variable costs Contribution margin Contribution margin ratio (as a percent) b. Does your answer to (b) mean that the other segments are more profitable businesses?
Answer:
Time Warner, Inc.
a.
Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros. Total
Segment Revenues
(in millions) $21,700 $22,200 $80,600 $124,500
Variable costs 4,774 10,434 25,792 41,000
Contribution margin $16,926 $11,766 $54,808 $83,500
Contribution ratio 78% (100 - 22) 53% (100 -47) 68% (100 -32) 67%
b. Certainly, Turnover and Warner Bros. are more profitable businesses than Home Box Office in terms of total contribution margin (dollars) and contribution margin ratio.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Segment Revenues
(in millions)
Turner (cable networks and digital media) $21,700
Home Box Office (pay television) 22,200
Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 80,600
Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows:
Turner 22%
Home Box Office 47%
Warner Bros. 32%
b) The contribution margin ratio for the three segments can easily be determined by subtracting the variable costs percentages from 100 for each segment instead of doing more computations (Contribution margin/Sales Revenue * 100). But the results are the same for either method.
Medical clinic office: Medical case files of deceased patients. Which transfer method? explain your decision?
Answer: Perpetual
Explanation:
It is best to use the perpetual transfer method because the medical case files on deceased patient should be transferred immediately seeing as the patient is no longer alive.
Using a periodic transfer method would mean that files are only transferred at certain times even though the patient may have been deceased for some time.

You got asked to analyze a 5 year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,500, but requires an annual labor and materials cost of $5,000. To initiate the project your firm must invest $20,000. The salvage value of the project is $5,000 and has a 5 year useful life.
Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the after tax cash flows and the IRR for the ATCF of this project.
Answer:
15,300
72.70%
Explanation:
After tax cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($20,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $3,000
($28,500 - $5,000 - $3000) x (1 - 0.4) + $3000 = $15,300
Terminal year cash flow = after tax cash flow + salvage value
$15,300 + $5,000 = $20,300
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $15,300
Cash flow in year 5 = $20,300
IRR = 72.70%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
A company is considering replacing an old piece of machinery, which cost $105,000 and has $55,000 of accumulated depreciation to date, with a new machine that has a purchase price of $83,000. The old machine could be sold for $56,300. The annual variable production costs associated with the old machine are estimated to be $8,500 per year for eight years. The annual variable production costs for the new machine are estimated to be $5,000 per year for eight years.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 29 to determine whether to continue with (Alternative 1) or replace (Alternative 2) the old machine.
b. What is the sunk cost in this situation?
Answer:
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.
Explanation:
Differential Analysis
Purchase cost of the new machine (83,000)
Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8) 68,000
Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8) (40,000)
Scrap value of the old machine 56,300
Differential savings 1,300
Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300
The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.

Sunland Company received proceeds of $664000 on 10-year, 6% bonds issued on January 1, 2019. The bonds had a face value of $704000, pay interest annually on December 31, and have a call price of 105. Sunland uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
$46,240
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020
Interest expense=($704,000 × .06)+[($704000-$664000)/10]
Interest expense= $42,240+($40,000/10)
Interest expense=$42,240+$4,000
Interest expense=$46,240
Therefore the amount of interest expense Sunland will show with relation to these bonds for the year ended December 31, 2020 is $46,240

Direct labor or machine hours may not be the appropriate cost driver for overhead in all areas of manufacturing due to the complexities of many manufacturing processes. Many companies use activity-based costing (ABC) which uses multiple drivers (items that consume resources) rather than just one driver to apply overhead to their activities. With ABC, a company can use a cost driver that has a direct cause/effect relationship in its applied overhead costs.
Waterways looked into ABC as a method of costing because of the variety of items it produces and the many different activities in which it is involved. The activities listed below area sample of possible cost pools for Waterways.
