Answer: A. Explicit cost.
D. Fixed cost
Explanation:
The type of cost which batteries are for the renewable-energy industry is explicit cost and fixed cost. Explicit costs refers to the business costs which appear in the general ledger. It should be noted that they've direct impact on the company's profit. Examples include utilities, raw materials, salaries, lease payments, etc.
When running a business, explicit cost is the direct payment that's made to others, such as rent, wage and materials. Batteries are an explicit cost as they're incurrIn the industry of renewable energy, batteries are used to save the energy produced and thus the cost of batteries are incurred in the daily production. Hence, it is an explicit cost since it's incurred for daily production.
Fixed costs are those costs that doesn't vary with the production level. Since the energy produced has to be stored in batteries, then it is a fixed cost as it doesn't vary with the production level.
BugLess Inc, a calendar year, accrual basis corporation, provides pest extermination services to its customers. In October 2020, BugLess contracted with Mr. Cass to provide monthly service calls for 24 months. Each service call costs $60, and Mr. Cass prepaid $1,440 when he signed the contract. BugLess made three service calls to Mr. Cass' home in 2017. As a result of the contract, BugLess should report: Group of answer choices $1,440 taxable income in 2020. $180 taxable income in 2020, and $1,260 taxable income in 2021. $180 taxable income in 2020, $720 taxable income in 2021, and $540 taxable income in 2022. None of the above
Answer:
$180 taxable income in 2020, and $1,260 taxable income in 2021.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what BugLess should report As a result of the contract
Calculation for the TAXABLE INCOME IN 2020
Using this formula
2020 Taxable income=Service call costs*Numbers of service calls
Let plug in the formula
2020 Taxable income=$60*3
2020 Taxable income=$180
Calculation for the TAXABLE INCOME IN 2021
Using this formula
2021 Taxable income=Prepaid Amount-(Service call costs*Numbers of service calls)
Let plug in the formula
2021 Taxable income=$1,440-($60*3)
2021 Taxable income=$1,440-$180
2021 Taxable income=$1,260
Therefore As a result of the contract, BugLess should report:$180 taxable income in 2020, and $1,260 taxable income in 2021.
On January 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $295,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 10 years and the estimated residual value is $20,000. The equipment is expected to produce 280,000 units during its life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for 2021 and 2022 using each of the following methods.
a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
b. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.
Answer:
a.
2021 = $50,000
2022 = $45,000
b.
2021 = $275,000
2022 = $0
Explanation:
a. Sum-of-the-years'-digits.
Sum of digits for the 10 years will be :
Year 1 = 10
Year 2 = 9
Year 3 = 8
Year 4 = 7
Year 5 = 6
Year 6 = 5
Year 7 = 4
Year 8 = 3
Year 9 = 2
Year 10 = 1
Sum of Digits = 55
therefore,
2021 depreciation = 10/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $50,000
2022 depreciation = 9/55 x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $45,000
b. One hundred fifty percent declining balance.
2021 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000)
= $412,500
Can not be charged above book value of $275,000
2022 depreciation = 150% x ($295,000 - $20,000- $412,500)
= $0
Hearne Company has a number of potential capital investments. Because these projects vary in nature, initial investment, and time horizon, management is finding it difficult to compare them. Assume straight line depreciation method is used. (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Project 1: Retooling Manufacturing Facility This project would require an initial investment of $4,850,000. It would generate $865,000 in additional net cash flow each year. The new machinery has a useful life of eight years and a salvage value of $1,000,000.
Project 2: Purchase Patent for New Product The patent would cost $3,400,000, which would be fully amortized over five years. Production of this product would generate $425,000 additional annual net income for Hearne.
Project 3: Purchase a New Fleet of Delivery Trucks Hearne could purchase 25 new delivery trucks at a cost of $115,000 each. The fleet would have a useful life of 10 years, and each truck would have a salvage value of $5,000. Purchasing the fleet would allow Hearne to expand its customer territory resulting in $200,000 of additional net income per year.

The Depreciable or Amortization amount = Initial investment cost Minus Salvage value
Annual Returns = Annual Cash inflow Minus Depreciation
Average annual investment cost = Initial investment cost/useful life
Accounting rate of return = average annual returns/average annual investment cost
Payback period = Initial investment/Annual cash inflows
Total PV of cash flows = PV of annual cash inflows + PV of Salvage value
NPV = Total PV of cash flows Minus Initial Investment Cost
Profitability Index = Total PV of cash flows/Initial Investment Cost

Identify the statement below that is true regarding the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account. Multiple Choice The account has a normal credit balance and is reported on the balance sheet. The account has a normal debit balance and is reported on the balance sheet. The account has a normal credit balance and is reported on the income statement. The account has a normal debit balance and is reported on the income statement.
Answer: The account has a normal credit balance and is reported on the balance sheet.
Explanation:
The allowance for doubtful accounts refers to the amount of account receivable that the company believes will not be paid by the customers. It is referred to as the bad debt reserve as well.
The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the accounts receivable. It also has a normal credit balance and is reported on the balance sheet.
Firm B Firm T Shares outstanding 4,800 1,800 Price per share $ 47 $ 20 Firm B has estimated that the value of the synergistic benefits from acquiring Firm T is $9,100. Firm T can be acquired for $22 per share in cash or by exchange of stock wherein B offers one of its shares for every two of T's shares. Are the shareholders of Firm T better off with the cash offer or the stock offer? Cash offer is better Share offer is better At what exchange ratio of B shares to T shares would the shareholders in T be indifferent between the two offers? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 4 decimal places, e.g., 32.1616.)
Answer:
A. Share Offer Is Better
B. .4569
Explanation:
A. Based on the information given the shareholders of Firm T will be better off with the STOCK OFFER because cash offer is the amount of $22 per share.
B. Calculation to determine the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares
First step is to calculate the New shares created
New shares created = 1,800(1/2)
New shares created = 900 new shares
Second step is to calculate the value of the merged firm
Value of the merged firm= 4,800($47) + 1,800($20) + $9,100
Value of the merged firm= $270,700
Third step is to calculate the price per share of the merged firm
Price= $270,700/(4,800 + 900)
Price= $270,700/5,700
Price= $47.49
Fourth step is to calculate the Equity offer value
Equity offer value = (1/2)($47.49)
Equity offer value = $23.75 per share
Fifth step is to calculate the post merger share price
Value of the merged firm= $270,700
Shares in new firm = 4,800 + 1,800x
Hence:
Post merger share price:
P= $270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x)
Sixth step
For the target firm’s shareholders to be indifferent which means they have to receive the same wealth
Hence;
1,800(x)P= 1,800($22)
Let solve this equation for P
P= $22/x
Now Let Combine the two equations
$270,700/(4,800 + 1,800x) = $22/x
x= .4569
Seventh step is to calculate the NPV
NPV = 1,800($20) + $9,100 – 1,800($22)
NPV = $5,500
Eight step is to calculate the Share price
Share price = [4,800($47) + $5,500]/4,800
Share price = $48.15
Now let calculate the Exchange ratio
Exchange ratio = $22/$48.15
Exchange ratio = .4569
Therefore the exchange ratio of B shares to T shares that the shareholders in T would be indifferent between the two offers is .4569

Amari has two jobs, one for the winter and one for the summer. In the winter, he works as a lift attendant at a ski resort where he earns $18 per hour. During the summer, he drives a tour bus around the ski resort, earning $13 per hour.
Refer to Scenario 18-3. If Amari takes more hours of leisure in the winter than in the summer, we can assume that his labor supply curve for the range of earnings in this example:
a. is vertical.
b. has a backward-bending portion.
c. is horizontal
d. is upward sloping.
Answer: b. has a backward-bending portion.
Explanation:
A backward-bending supply curve shows what happens when people substitute higher wages for more leisure time like Amari is doing in this scenario.
At a higher wage, people will be able to work for shorter hours as such a job will still give them the same amount of money as working longer in lower paying jobs.
After they get a certain level of payment from the higher paying job, they will then substitute the remaining hours for leisure. This creates a backward-bending curve because labor hours are reducing past a certain level of wages.
Southern Alliance Company needs to raise $120 million to start a new project and will raise the money by selling new bonds. The company will generate no internal equity for the foreseeable future. The company has a target capital structure of 55 percent common stock, 15 percent preferred stock, and 30 percent debt. Flotation costs for issuing new common stock are 8 percent, for new preferred stock, 5 percent, and for new debt, 3 percent.
What is the true initial cost figure the company should use when evaluating its project? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount, e.g., 1,234,567.)
Answer:
$127,727,515
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the true initial cost figure Southern should use when evaluating its project
First step is to find the weighted average flotation cost.
Weighted average flotation cost= .55(.08) + .15(.05) + .30(.03)
Weighted average flotation cost= .044+.0075+.009
Weighted average flotation cost= .0605*100
Weighted average flotation cost=6.05%
Now let determine the true initial cost figure
True initial cost figure=(1 – .0605) = $120,000,000
True initial cost figure = $120,000,000 / (1 – .0605)
True initial cost figure = $120,000,000 / .9395
= $127,727,515
Therefore the true initial cost figure Southern should use when evaluating its project is $127,727,515

Vehicles are identified by RFID tags in order to collect bridge tolls. The project manager is considering two different technologies for RFID readers. By sampling two different options, the following data are collected about the accuracy of the readers:
Option 1: 99, 98, 99, 94, 92, 99, 98, 99, 94, 90 Option 2: 98, 97, 97, 97, 98, 98, 97, 97, 98
Calculate the mean, mode, and standard deviation of the two options.
Answer:
Option 1
[tex]\bar x_1 = 96.2[/tex]
[tex]Mode = 99[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = 3.22[/tex]
Option 2
[tex]\bar x_2 = 97.4[/tex]
[tex]Mode = 97[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = 0.499[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Option\ 1: 99, 98, 99, 94, 92, 99, 98, 99, 94, 90[/tex]
[tex]Option\ 2: 98, 97, 97, 97, 98, 98, 97, 97, 98[/tex]
Required
The mean, mode and standard deviation of both options
Option 1
Calculate mean
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{99+ 98+ 99+ 94+ 92+ 99+ 98+ 99+ 94+ 90}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 = \frac{962}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_1 = 96.2[/tex]
Calculate mode
[tex]Mode = 99[/tex]
Because it has a frequency of 4 (more than other element of the dataset)
Calculate standard deviation
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{(99-96.2)^2 +.............+(90-96.2)^2}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{103.6}{10}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{10.36}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_1 = 3.22[/tex]
Option 2
Calculate mean
[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{98+ 97+ 97+ 97+ 98+ 98+ 97+ 97+ 98}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = \frac{877}{9}[/tex]
[tex]\bar x_2 = 97.4[/tex]
Calculate mode
[tex]Mode = 97[/tex]
Because it has a frequency of 5 (more than other element of the dataset)
Calculate standard deviation
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(98-97.4)^2+..............+ (98-97.4)^2}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2.24}{9}}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = \sqrt{0.2489}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_2 = 0.499[/tex]
Laura, a sales manager at Dexter Inc., claims that labor and management are rivals for most organizations. Brooke, the HR manager, says she is aware of exceptions. Which statement best supports Brooke's perspective? Question 34 options: After the 1980s, most unions and organizations have acted more like adversaries. Examples of cooperation between labor and management include employee involvement in decision making and self-managing teams. Finding win-win solutions is almost impossible because unions and management have conflicting goals. Organizations often define jobs narrowly, which is a sign of cooperation. Creating a union necessarily forces employers to pay more wages, which results in loss of profits.
Answer:
Dexter Inc.
The statement that best supports Brooke's perspective is:
Examples of cooperation between labor and management include employee involvement in decision making and self-managing teams.
Explanation:
When labor and management act as rivals or adversaries, it does not benefit their organizations. They should find common grounds for cooperation. Organizations should involve their employees in more decision-making. Despite their incongruent goals, unions and management should find win-win solutions. Paying employees a living wage does not impoverish the organization. On the contrary, everybody is greatly enriched.
The currency in Macroland is called econs. In Macroland, the public holds 2,000 econs in currency; commercial bank reserves are 300 econs; and the desired reserve-to-deposit ratio of the commercial banks is 10%. If the Central Bank of Macroland prints an additional 200 econs and uses this new currency to buy government bonds from the public, the money supply in Macroland will ____, assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds from before.
Answer:
D)5,000; 7,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The total bank deposit would be
= (300 ÷ 0.10) + 2,000
= 3,000 + 2,000
= 5,000
In the case when the reserve ratio is 10% so the money multiplier would be 10
Since there is extra inflow of currency so by having the multiplier effect it would be 2000 econs
Now first it is 5,000 econ than it would become 7,000 econ
If there is an additional inflow of currency because of printing 200 econs by central bank then because of multiplier effect it will be 2000 econs.
Money supply from earlier 5000 econs will become 7000 econs.
Roberto has received various gifts over the years and has decided to dispose of the following assets he received as gifts:
What is the recognized gain or loss from the following transactions, assuming that no gift tax was paid when the gifts were made.
If an answer is zero, select "neither a gain nor a loss" and enter "0" as the amount.
a. In 1981, he received land worth $32,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $35,000. Roberto sells the land for $95,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
b. In 1986, he received stock in Gold Company. The donor's adjusted basis was $19,000. The fair market value on the date of the gift was $34,000. Roberto sells the stock for $40,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
c. In 1992, he received land worth $15,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $20,000. Roberto sells the land for $9,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
d. In 2013, he received stock worth $30,000. The donor's adjusted basis was $42,000. Roberto sells the stock for $38,000 in 2018.
(neither a gain or a loss/ a gain/ a loss) of $__________ is recognized.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $95000 - $35000
= $60000
Gain of $60000 will be recognized
b. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $40000 - $19000
= $21000
Gain of $21000 is recognized
c. The recognized gain or loss from the transaction will be:
= Amount realized - Adjusted basis
= $9000 - $15000
= -$6000
Loss of $6000 is recognized
d. In this case, no gain or loss will be recognized.
On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the company sold 18,000 additional shares for cash. Bennett's net income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $650,000. During 2021, Bennett declared and paid $71,000 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share
Answer:
$5.31
Explanation:
Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding
where,
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :
Net Income $650,000
Less Preference Stock dividend ($71,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $579,000
and
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :
Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding 100,000
Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2) 9,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding 109,000
therefore,
Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷ 109,000
= $5.31
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.
A project has a discount rate of 14 percent, an initial cost of $99,200, an inflow of $56,400 in year 1 and an inflow of $75,900 in year 2. Your boss requires that every project return a minimum of $1.10 for every $1 invested. Based on this information, what is your recommendation on this project?
Answer:
I would recommend the project because the return is greater than 10%
Explanation:
We are to determine the internal rate of return of the project
rate of return the boss requires = (1.1 /1) - 1 = 10%
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 = -99200
cash flow in year 1 and 2 = 75900
IRR = 33.7%
The following are some of the components included in the master budget of a merchandising company. List the items of the master budget in order of preparation. a. Budgeted balance sheet b. Sales budget c. Capital expenditures budget d. Budgeted income statement e. Cash budget f. Inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold budget g. Selling and administrative expense budget
Answer:
Items of the master budget in order of preparation:
b. Sales budget
f. Inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold budget
g. Selling and administrative expense budget
c. Capital expenditures budget
e. Cash budget
d. Budgeted income statement
a. Budgeted balance sheet
Explanation:
In a master budget, the first is the sales budget. It forms the nucleus for the preparation of other budgets. The sales targets determine the production requirements. From the production, inventory, or purchase budgets, other budgets will be formed sequentially. All are directed at meeting the needs of customers as captured in the sales budget. Lastly, the financial statements budgets are prepared, which include the income statement and the balance sheet.
James is the new manager of operations at Springfield Motors. To his dismay, he finds the employees coming in late to work, taking long breaks, and behaving unprofessionally at their workstations. James decides to promote desirable work practices. He plans to introduce incentives for meeting the required targets but, at the same time, to withhold those incentives when employees are late, take long breaks, or behave unprofessionally. Identify the contingencies that James is planning to implement.
Answer: b. Positive reinforcement and punishment
Explanation:
Positive reinforcement is a way of encouraging certain behavior by adding something pleasant when the subject does something that it desirable or a stimulus. James giving the employees some incentives (something pleasant) when they meet required targets (something desirable) is therefore positive reinforcement.
Punishment on the other hand, refers to taking away something pleasant in response to the subject doing something that isn't very desirable. In this scenario, James would take away the incentives (pleasant) in response to the employees behaving unprofessionally (isn't very desirable).
Coordination refers to ________. a. identifying the span of control within an organization b. portioning the performance of specific tasks c. assigning tasks to qualified managers d. linking various value activities within an organization

For many years, college costs (including tuition, fees, and room and board) increases have been higher than the inflation rate, averaging 5% to 8% per year. According to the College Board's Trends in College Pricing, the average total costs at present in dollars is $19,500 for students attending in-state four-year public colleges and universities and $41,000 for students at four-year private colleges and universities. Assume an additional $5,000 per year for textbooks, supplies, transportation, and other expenses.
Using a 7% per year inflation rate, how much can a sophomore high-school student expect to spend on in-state tuition, fees, and room and board for the freshman year (3 years from now) at a four-year public university?
A sophomore high-school student is expected to spend $ for the freshman year.
Answer: $23,888
Explanation:
The cost today for a freshman at a public university is $19,500.
Inflation is at 7% a year and the period is 3 years from now. It is best to use a future value formula:
= Fees * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years
= 19,500 * ( 1 + 7%)³
= 19,500 * 1.225043
= $23,888
Clark's Chemical Company received refundable deposits on returnable containers in the amount of $102,000 during 2021. Thirteen percent of the containers were not returned. The deposits are based on the container cost marked up 35%. What is cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Answer:
$9,822
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷(100+35%)
Cost of goods sold=($102,000 x 13%) ÷ 135% =
Cost of goods sold=$13,260÷135%
Cost of goods sold=$9,822
Therefore the cost of goods sold relative to this forfeiture is $9,822
