Answer: A. Less that 3.00
Explanation:
We will essentially be using a multiple regression formula to predict the value of the first quarter of 2021.
Equation is:
Y₂₀₂₁ = Intercept + ar1X₁ + ar2X₂ + ar3X₃
Y = Quarter 1, 2021
X₁ = Quarter 1, 2018
X₂ = Quarter 1, 2019
X₃ = Quarter 1, 2020
= 2.637 + (0.252 * 3.53) + (0.061 * 0.98) + (-0.202 * 2.91)
= 2.99852
This is less than 3 so the first option is correct.
Brightstone Tire and Rubber Company has capacity to produce 179,000 tires. Brightstone presently produces and sells 137,000 tires for the North American market at a price of $93 per tire. Brightstone is evaluating a special order from a European automobile company, Euro Motors. Euro is offering to buy 21,000 tires for $76.85 per tire. Brightstone's accounting system indicates that the total cost per tire is as follows:
Direct materials $54
Direct labor 24
Factory overhead (62% variable) 24
Selling and administrative expenses (44% variable) 25
Total $127.00
Brightstone pays a selling commission equal to 4% of the selling price on North American orders, which is included in the variable portion of the selling and administrative expenses. However, this special order would not have a sales commission. If the order was accepted, the tires would be shipped overseas for an additional shipping cost of $7.65 per tire. In addition, Euro has made the order conditional on receiving European safety certification. Brightstone estimates that this certification would cost $165,424.
Required:
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated January 21 on whether to reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors.
b. Determine whether the company should reject (Alternative 1) or accept (Alternative 2) the special order from Euro Motors
c. What is the minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone?

Nelson Won wants to withdraw $25,000 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 10% compounded annually
Answer:
Initial Investment= $94,769.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $25,000
Interest rate (i)= 10%
Number of periods (n)= 5 years
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 25,000*{(1/0.1) - 1/[0.1*(1.1^5)]}
PV= $94,769.7
Although the Fed has very strong influence over the money supply, it does not have complete control a.Because the Fed has no idea how much reserves will change when it buys or sells securities. b.Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend. c.Because of unpredictable changes in reserve requirements. d.Because the FOMC meets only twice a year.
Answer: b. Because of unpredictable changes in the public's desire to hold cash or borrow and banks' desires to hold reserves or lend.
Explanation:
The Fed is able to embark on monetary policy that influences the entire country - and the world to some extent - because they have very strong influence over the money supply of the US$.
This influence is not absolute however because as the old adage goes, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink". In other words, the Fed can relax(impose) restrictions to make money more(less) available but they cannot force people to borrow(hold) that money.
They can't force banks either to either hold reserves or lend money out because banks are free to impose their own reserve limits on top of those of the Fed.
On January 1, 2021, Pine Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Pine to make annual payments of $800,000 at the beginning of each year for five years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Pine at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Pine uses the straight- line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Pine accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $3,335,888 at an effective interest rate of 10%. In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of:______.
a. 333,589
b. 253,589
c. 466,411
d. 546,411
Answer:
b. 253,589
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Present value of lease payment = $3,335,888
Payment in 2021 = $800,000
Interest rate = 10%
So, we can calculate the interest expense by using following formula,
Interest expense = (Present value of lease payment - Payment in 2021 ) × interest rate
Interest expense = ($3,335,888 - $800,000) × 10%
= $2,535,888 × 10%
= $253,588.8 or $253,589
In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of $253,589
Second-degree price discrimination: Multiple Choice results in transfer pricing. None of the answers are correct. is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities. eliminates the problem of double marginalization.
Answer:
is the practice of posting a discrete schedule of declining prices for different ranges of quantities
Explanation:
In the case of the second degree price discrimination, the firm should chares the different kinds of the prices as per the quantity demanded i.e. if the large quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the less price and if the small quantities are ordered so it should be charged at the high prices. The motive behind this is to motivate the bulk sales that means when the buyer purchased the products in bulk so he will get the high discounts
Therefore the third option is correct
In a statement of cash flows using the indirect method, an increase in the available-for-sale debt securities account due to an increase in the debt's fair value should be reported as: Group of answer choices A deduction from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Not reported. An investing activity. An addition to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities.
Answer: Not reported.
Explanation:
The Indirect method includes Net income in its calculation but this would not include any increase in Available-For-Sale (AFS) debt securities as these fall under other comprehensive income in the balance sheet.
Most importantly, the indirect method of calculating the cash the company has is for calculating just that, the cash. This means that an increase in the AFS security due to its fair value increasing will bring in no additional cash to the company so it is not reported in the cash flow statement.

Pransit, a truck driver, was involved in a truck collision with a passenger car driven by Sanjay. He sued Sanjay for negligence and Sanjay defended by claiming that Pransit was negligent in his driving. The jury heard both sides of the case and was instructed by the judge on the rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence. The jury verdict concluded that Pransit suffered $60,000 damages and Sanjay was 75% negligent and Pransit was 25% negligent in contributing to his own harm. Pransit will recover: A. $15,000. B. $45,000 C. $60,000 D. nothing.
Answer:
Pransit will recover:
B. $45,000
Explanation:
a) The rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence will ensure that Pransit recovers some damages arising from the negligent deriving. However, the extent of the amount he will recover depends on the percentage of the defendant's fault. The implication is that Sanjay will be responsible for 75% of the damage while Pransit bears the remaining 25% (100% - 75%).
b) Amount of damages suffered by Pransit = $60,000
Percentage of Sanjay's negligence = 75%
Therefore, the damage liable to be paid by Sanjay to Pransit = $45,000 ($60,000 * 75%).

As a result, organizational conflicts are eliminated, and the workers engage their productive energies to achieve clear-cut objectives that are congruent to the organization's goals.
Based on the Marshall Laws of Derived Demand, labor demand is more inelastic when a. workers are making a product that uses a highly labor intensive technology b. workers are making a product with more inelastic demand c. workers are making a product that uses a capital input with elastic supply d. workers are making a product that uses a technology with a fixed labor-capital ratio
Answer:
b
Explanation:
According to Marshall Laws of Derived Demand, labor demand is more inelastic in the following circumstances :
the cost of employing labour constitutes a small proportion of the total cost of production.the demand for the product is relatively inelasticlabour cannot be easily substituted for in the production processwhen the supply of other factors of production is inelasticA player in a game theoretic model is: a. anyone working for a firm that is operating strategically b. a firm that is operating as a perfect competitor c. a decision-making entity at a firm involved in a strategic game d. a monopolist who produces a unique product with no close substitutes e. a stockholder at a firm involved in a strategic game
Answer: c. a decision-making entity at a firm involved in a strategic game
Explanation:
In a theoretical game, there are two players that have to embark on different strategies such that they make the maximum payoff. This maximum payoff strategy is known as the dominant strategy.
These two players are the decision making entities in the firms that are competing in the game because they are the ones that decide how the firm should react and what strategy to use. For instance, the owners of the two bakeries down the street are the players because they control what either bakery will do.
Suppose you can only invest in the stock markets of two countries: US and China. The US has an expected return of 5.0% and a standard deviation of 15.0%. China has an expected return of 7.0% and a standard deviation of 22.0%. The correlation between the returns in the two markets is 0.3. The risk-free rate is 3.0%. What is the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain (rounded to the nearest 0.001)
Answer:
The maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.
Explanation:
Sharpe ratio = (Stock's expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………… (1)
Therefore, we have:
Sharpe ratio of the US stock market = (5.0% - 3.0%) / 15.0% = 0.133
Sharpe ratio of China stock market = (7.0% - 3.0%) / 22.0% = 0.182
Since you can only invest in the stock markets of US and China, and the Sharpe ratio of China stock market of 0.182 is greater than the Sharpe ratio of the stock market of 0.133, this implies that the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.
in 2020, Mathis Co. at the first year of operations, has financial income of $1,200,000. It has an litigation expense of $3,000,000, and installment sales of $2,4000,000. The estimated litigation expense of $3,000,000 will be deductible in 2022 when it is expected to be paid. The installment sales will be realized in the amount of $1,200,000 in each of the next two years. The income tax rate is 20% for all years. what is tax payable for 2020
Answer:
Mathis Co.
The Tax payable for 2020 is:
= $1,320,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
2020 Financial income = $1,200,000
add Litigation expense 3,000,000
add installment sales 2,400,000
Adjusted taxable income $6,600,000
Income tax rate = 20%
Tax payable for 2020 = $1,320,000
b) The litigation expense was deducted from the financial income. This is added back to the income. Installment sales were not included in the revenue for the financial income of 2020. This is also added to the financial income. The net result is the figure for taxable income. This forms the basis for the application of the income tax rate of 20%.
Part U67 is used in one of Broce Corporation's products. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the 15,400 units of the part that are needed every year.
Per Unit
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Depreciation of special equipment $7.70
Allocated general overhead $4.80
An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $27.00 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company. If the outside supplier's offer were accepted, only $21,400 of these allocated general overhead costs would be avoided.
Required:
a. Prepare a report that shows the financial impact of buying part U67 from the supplier rather than continuing to make it inside the company.
b. Which alternative should the company choose?
Answer:
Broce Corporation
a. The Financial Impact of Buying Part U67 is as follows:
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
b. The company should choose to continue to produce the part internally.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production units for the year = 15,400
Per Unit Costs:
Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Total variable costs $11.70
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Depreciation of special equipment $7.70
Allocated general overhead $4.80

Direct materials $2.30
Direct labor $3.30
Variable overhead $6.10
Supervisor's salary $6.60
Total avoidable variable costs $18.30 * 15,400 = $281,820
General overhead costs 21,400
Total avoidable costs = $303,220
Differential Analysis:
Cost of buying from supplier = $415,800 (15,400 * $27)
Avoidable cost of making = 303,220
Differential cost for buying = $112,500
Harrods PLC has a market value of £136 million and 4 million shares outstanding. Selfridge Department Store has a market value of £38 million and 2 million shares outstanding. Harrods is contemplating acquiring Selfridge. Harrods’s CFO concludes that the combined firm with synergy will be worth £194 million, and Selfridge can be acquired at a premium of £10 million. a. If Harrods offers 1.2 million shares of its stock in exchange for the 2 million shares of Selfridge, what will the stock price of Harrods be after the acquisition?
Answer:
the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price after the acquisition is given below:
= Worth of combined synergy ÷ (outstanding shares = harrods shares)
= £194 million ÷ (4 million + 1.2 million)
= £194 million ÷ 5.2 million shares
= $37.30 per share
hence, the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct answer could come

palmer corp is considering the purchase of new equipment the cost savings from the equipment would result in the annual increase income after tax of 133500 the equipment will have an initial cost of 534000 and have a 7 year life is the salvage value estimated to be 9000 what is estimated to be the payback period
Answer:
Payback period= 4 years
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time in years it takes
the net cash inflow from a project to equate the net cash the initial cost.
Where a project is expected to generate a series of equal annual net cash inflow, the payback period can be calculated as:
The initial invest /Net cash inflow per year
So the payback period for project X
= $534,000/133,500
= 4 years
Payback period= 4 years

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

b) Depreciation is added back to the net income. Increases in current assets are cash outflows, reducing cash flows, while decreases are cash inflows, increasing cash flows. On the other hand, increases in current liabilities are cash inflows, increasing cash flows, while decreases are cash outflows, reducing cash flows.
