Perpetual Batteries recently came under criticism when a newspaper article revealed that the company's production plant had leaked a chemical compound into a sensitive wetland ecosystem. Although use of the chemical was not technically prohibited by law, the local government levied a small fine for cleaning up the spill. Environmental groups, however, argued that continued use of the chemical was damaging to the local wildlife and threatened to organize a boycott against Perpetual Batteries. What should Perpetual Batteries do to ensure that it meets its ethical responsibilities?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Perpetual batteries has 2 options in order to meet its ethical responsibilities:

Try to make sure that their system is 100% leak proof, but that would be very hard to do (systems are rarely perfect) and the public might not believe them. If the public does not believe them, they might still suffer form lower sales. Change the design of their batteries so that they no longer need to use the harmful chemical, and instead use environmentally friendly processes. This option is better because this change can be used to both solve environmental issues and helps to promote the company's image as green or environmentally friendly which can increase their sales volume.

William Brown, the CFO of Oriole Automotive, Inc., is putting together this year's financial statements. He has gathered the following balance sheet information: The firm had a cash balance of $23,015, accounts payable of $163,257, common stock of $311,300, retained earnings of $512,159, inventory of $213,100, goodwill and other assets equal to $78,656, net plant and equipment of $710,100, and short-term notes payable of $21,115. It also had accounts receivable of $141,258 and other current assets of $11,223. How much long-term debt does Oriole Automotive have?

Answers

Answer:

$169,521

Explanation:

The computation of long-term debt is shown below:-

Total asset = Cash + Inventory + Goodwill + Net plant and equipment + Receivables + Current assets

= $23,015 + $213,100 + $78,656 + $710,100 + $141,258 + $11,223

= $1,177,352

Long-term debt = Total asset - Account payable - Common stock - Retained earnings - Short term notes

= $1,177,352 - $163,257 - $311,300 - $512,159 - $21,115

= $169,521

Hence, we have applied the above formula for determining the long term debt.

During 2018, Mayfair Enterprises had the following securities outstanding: 1. 250,000 shares of common stock with an average market price of $25 per share. 2. 9.5% convertible preferred, which had been sold at its par value of $100. The preferred stock is convertible into three shares of common stock and 3,000 preferred shares are currently outstanding. During 2018, Mayfair Enterprises earned net income after income taxes of $3.2 million. Calculate the (a) basic earnings per share and (b) diluted earnings per share for Mayfair Enterprises for 2018.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the earning per share and the diluted per share is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be computed

Preference dividend is

= 3,000 shares × $100 × 9.5%

= $28,500

a. Now the earning per share is

= (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (number of weighted outstanding shares)

= ($3.2 million - $28,500) ÷ (250,000 shares)

= $12.69 per share

b. Now diluted per share is

= Earning after tax ÷ (number of weighted outstanding shares)

= $3.2 million ÷ (250,000 shares + 3,000 × 3)

= $12.36 per share

When Sony released the PlayStation 4, it was reported that Sony was taking a loss of $60 on every PS4. However, Sony expected to make this up with sales of PS subscriptions and increased royalties from video games. Use the interdependence principle to help explain this strategy.
The PS subscriptions allow PS4 owners to play their games online, receive new games monthly to download at no charge, and receive additional special discounts on other items. Therefore, the PS4 and PS subscriptions are _________ in consumption. Decreasing the price of the PS4 will the demand for PS subscriptions. Sony expects that revenue from recurring PS4 _________ will be larger than the loss in revenue from PS4 sales.

Answers

Answer: Complimentary; Increase

Explanation:

Therefore, the PS4 and PS subscriptions are complimentary in consumption. Decreasing the price of the PS4 will increase the demand for PS subscriptions. Sony expects that revenue from recurring PS4  will be larger than the loss in revenue from PS4 sales.

When goods are said to be complimentary it means that they are used along with each other. Like coffee and sugar. The PS4 and and the PS subscriptions are complimentary because owners of the PS4 use the PS subscriptions to play online.

By reducing the price of the PS4, more people will be able to buy it and then will have to make PS subscriptions so that they can play the PS4s thereby giving Sony revenue which might be higher than the amount they lost by reducing the PS4 price.

Calculate the e D of coke and Income Elasticity Demand of Coke using the midpoint method. Hint: We need to be careful about the data we choose to calculate these. To calculate e D we need a change in price of Coke and quantity demanded for Coke but we need everything else that affects the demand to remain the same. Similarly, to calculate Income Elasticity Demand of coke, need two months such that there is a change in income, but no other changes.
(a) Price Elasticity of Demand (e D) of coke.
i) What are the two months you pick? Why?
ii) Calculate eD of coke.
(b) Income Elasticity of Demand (IED) of Coke.
i) What are the two months you pick? Why?
ii) Calculate IED of coke

Answers

Answer:

midpoint method for income elasticity of demand = {ΔQD / [(QD₀ + QD₁)/2]} / {ΔI / [(I₀ + I₁)/2]}

midpoint method for price elasticity of demand = {ΔQD / [(QD₀ + QD₁)/2]} / {ΔP / [(P₀ + P₁)/2]}

a) I will use the information from January and February to calculate the price elasticity of demand of Coke. I cannot use March instead of January because income increased during that month.

QD₀ = 14

QD₁ = 10

P₀ = 2.40

P₁ = 3

PED = {(10 - 14) / [(14 + 10)/2]} / {(3 - 2.4) / [(3 + 2.4)/2]}

PED = {-4 / 12} / {0.6 / 2.7} = -0.3333 / 0.2222 = -1.5 or |1.5| in absolute terms

Coke's PED is elastic since a 1% change in price will result in a larger proportional change in the quantity demanded.

b) I will use the information from January and March to calculate the income elasticity of demand of Coke. These are the two months where income changes but price of Coke remains the same.

QD₀ = 14

QD₁ = 20

I₀ = 300

I₁ = 500

PED = {(20 - 14) / [(14 + 20)/2]} / {(500 - 300) / [(300 + 500)/2]}

PED = {6 / 17} / {200 / 400} = 0.3529 / 0.5 = 0.71

Coke's IED is positive, therefore, Coke is a normal good.

Company Case High School Job Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead costs Machinehours mh mh What is the bid price for the Case High School job if the company uses a ​% markup of total manufacturing​ costs?

Answers

Answer:

$3,927

Explanation:

For the computation of bid price first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead rate = Overhead cost ÷ Machine hours

= 45,000 ÷ 100,000

= $0.45

Total manufacturing cost charged to the school

= 2,000 + 400 + (900 × 0.45)

= $2,805

Markup cost = $2,805 × 0.4

= $1,122

Bid price of job = Total manufacturing cost charged to school + Markup cost

= $2,805 + $1,122

= $3,927

Your company will need a business plan in order to get funding. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

What is a business plan?

A business plan is a formal document that outlines a company's goals, strategies, and projected outcomes. One of the primary reasons for creating a business plan is to secure funding from investors or financial institutions. By presenting a well-written and comprehensive business plan, a company can demonstrate its viability and potential for success, which can increase its chances of obtaining the necessary funding to start or grow the business.

While a business plan can help a company increase revenue and identify opportunities, those outcomes are not the primary purpose of a business plan. Paying taxes is a legal requirement for all companies, but a business plan is not directly related to tax obligations.

Therefore, a company will need a business plan in order to get funding. Hence, the correct answer is option D.

For 2018, Gourmet Kitchen Products reported $23 million of sales and $18 million of operating costs (including depreciation). The company has $15 million of total invested capital. Its after-tax cost of capital is 10% and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%. What was the firm's economic value added (EVA), that is, how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during 2018? Write out your answer completely. For example, 25 million should be entered as 25,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

$1,750,000

Explanation:

Economic value added (EVA) = Net operating profit after taxes - Invested capital * Cost of capital

Economic value added (EVA) = [($23,000,000 - $18,000,000)*(1 - 0.35)] - [$15,000,000*10%]

Economic value added (EVA) = $5,000,000*(0.65) - $1,500,000

Economic value added (EVA) = $3,250,000 - $1,500,000

Economic value added (EVA) = $1,750,000

Hence, the management add the value of $1,750,000 to stockholders' wealth during 2018.

As the risk will remain the same, so we can say that the r or required rate of return will remain the same. To calculate r, we will input the pre announcement values in the formula above.

25 = 2.5 / (r - 0.04)

25 * (r - 0.04)  =  2.5

25r  -  1  = 2.5

25r = 2.5 + 1

r = 3.5 / 25

r = 0.14 or 14%

Using the same formula for post announcement values, we calculate teh price to be,

P0 = 1.5 /  (0.14 - 0.08)

P0 = $25

James Grunig, professor emeritus of public relations at the University of Maryland, listed the following possible objectives for a communicator _________.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

According to James Grunig, professor emeritus of public relations at the University of Maryland, the five possible objectives for a communicator are:

• Message Exposure - This refers to situation when the intended people get exposed to the message that is being shared. Here, materials are provided to the mass media by the PR personel.

• Accurate dissemination of message - Messages must be passed across and communicated as clearly as possible without giving out false information or witholding back some information which is vital for the accuracy of the information delivered.

• Acceptance of the message - The message passed must be accepted by the person that's being addressed.

• Attitude change - There must be an attitude change after the message has been delivered as these shows acceptance and products should be purchased.

• Change in overt behavior - Overt behavior is openly seen and hence, there will be change in overt behavior and the goods will be purchased.

Quick Computing currently sells 10 million computer chips each year at a price of $20 per chip. It is about to introduce a new chip, and it forecasts annual sales of 12 million of these improved chips at a price of $25 each. However, demand for the old chip will decrease, and sales of the old chip are expected to fall to 3 million per year. The old chips cost $6 each to manufacture, and the new ones will cost $8 each. What is the proper cash flow to use to evaluate the present value of the introduction of the new chip?

Answers

Answer:

Annual cashflow for the decision= $162  million

Explanation:

The proper cashflow would be determined as follows:

Contribution per unit = Sales price - variable cost

Contribution per unit of new chip  = 25-8 = $17 per unit

Contribution per unit of old chip = 20 - 6 = 14 per unit.

Contribution form the sale of the new chip = contribution per unit × annual sales in unit

=17 × 12  million units = $204  million

lost Contribution from the old  chip = contribution per unit × lost annual sales in unit

Lost contribution  from old chip= $14 × 3 million unit = $42 million

Note that the lost contribution is an opportunity cost occasioned as a result of the introducing the new chip, hence the contribution should be deducted

Annual cashflow for the decision= $204  million -$42 million  = $162  million

Annual cashflow for the decision= $162  million

International Gems sells fine jewelry and has implemented activity-based costing. Costs in the shipping department have been divided into three cost pools. The first cost pool contains costs that are related to packaging and shipping. International has determined that the number of boxes shipped is an appropriate cost driver for these costs. The second cost pool is made up of costs related to the final inspection of each item before it is shipped and the cost driver for this pool is the number of individual items that are inspected. The final cost pool is used for general operations of the department and the cost driver is the number of orders. Information about the activities is summarized below:
Cost Pool Total Costs Cost Driver Annual Activity
Packaging and shipping $164,700 Number of boxes shipped 24,000 boxes
Final inspection $200,600 Number of individual items shipped 98,900 items
General operations and supervision $84,300 Number of orders 8,100 orders
During the period, the Far East sales office generated 684 orders for a total of 6,120 items. These orders were shipped in 1,474 boxes. What amount of shipping department costs should be allocated to these sales?

Answers

Answer:

Total shipping department cost = $29,647.26

Explanation:

Total shipping department cost = (Packaging and shipping cost per box * no of boxes) + (Final inspection cost per item * no of items) + (General operations and supervision cost per order * no of orders)

- Final inspection cost per item = Total cost / Annual activity

Final inspection cost per item = 200,600 / 98,900

Final inspection cost per item = 2.028311

- General operations and supervision cost per order = Total cost / Annual activity

General operations and supervision cost per order = 84,300 / 8,100

General operations and supervision cost per order = 10.40741

- Packaging and shipping cost per box = Total cost / Annual activity

Packaging and shipping cost per box = 164,700 / 24,000

Packaging and shipping cost per box = 6.6825  

Hence, Total shipping department cost = (6.6825 * 1,474) + (2.028311 * 6,120) + (10.40741 * 684)

Total shipping department cost = 9850.005 + 12413.263 + 7118.668

Total shipping department cost = $29,647.26

The amount of shipping department costs that should be allocated to these sales will be $29647.26.

The final inspection cost per item will be:

= Total cost / Annuity activity

= 200600 / 98900

= 2.03

General operations and supervision cost per order will be:

= Total cost / Annual activity

= 84300 / 8100

= 10.41

Packaging and shipping costs per box will be:

= Total cost / Annual activity

= 164700 / 24000

= 6.68

Therefore, the total shipping cost will be:

= (6.6825 × 1.474) + (2.03 × 6120) + (10.41 × 684)

= 9850 + 12413.26 + 7118.67

= 29647.26

Answers

Answer:

Since the requirements were missing, I looked for similar questions:

(a) Liquidity ratio  for individuals

basic liquidity ratio = cash (liquid) assets / monthly expenses = $16,000 / $7,000 = 2.29

Depending on the maturity of the investment assets, the liquidity ratio could increase, but since the information is limited, we can only consider liquid assets. E.g. if the investment assets include bonds that mature in a very short term they should be included in this formula, but if they include bonds that mature in x number of years, then they aren't included.

(b) Debt-to-asset ratio :

generally the formula is debt to asset ratio = $175,400 / $326,000 = 0.54

 

(c) Debt service-to-income ratio

debt service to income ratio = monthly payments / gross income = ($450 + $2,200) / $13,000 = $2,650 / $13,000 = 0.20

(d) Debt payments-to-disposable income ratio

debt payments to disposable income ratio = monthly payments / disposable income = ($450 + $2,400) / $6,000 = $2,650 / $6,000 = 0.44

Which company would you invest​ in, either as a bondholder or as a​ stockholder?
Disney McDonald's
Sales $48,719 $28,049
EBIT $12,291 $8,143
Net Income $7,523 $5,521
Current Assets $15,078 $5,019
Total Assets $84,121 $36,669
Current Liabilities $13,295 $3,066
Total Liabilities $39,228 $20,583
Equity $44,993 $16,058

Answers

Answer:

1. Debt ratio=Total liabilities/Total assets

Disney = 39,228/84,121  =0.466328

McDonald's=20583/36669  =0.561319

Based on this ratio, Disney is a better investment option because Disney is less leveraged than McDonald's which means it is has taken lesser risk than McDonald's.

2. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

Disney = 15078/13295  = 1.1341

McDonald's=5019/3066  =1.6369

Based on this ratio, McDonald's is a better investment option because of higher ratio, its ability to pay its current liabilities with its current assets is better than Disney.

3. Total asset turnover=Sales/total assets

Disney = 48719/84121  = 0.5791

McDonald's = 28049/36669 = 0.7649

Based on this ratio, McDonald's is a better investment option because of higher ratio, it shows that McDonald's is generating more revenues per dollar of assets which implies better performance.

4. Financial leverage= Total debt/total equity

Disney = 39228/44993 = 0.8718

McDonald's = 30583/16058 = 1.2817

Based on this ratio, Disney is a better investment ratio because McDonald's ratio is more than 1, which means it has more debt than equity and it shows higher burden on the company to repay principal and interest.

5. Profit margin= Net income/Sales

Disney= 7523/48718 = 0.1544

McDonald's= 5521/28049 = 0.1968

Based on this ratio, McDonald's is a better option as it has earner more income per dollar of sales, which means it is more profitable and is performing better

6. Return on equity= Net income/Equity

Disney= 7523/44993 = 0.1672

McDonald's= 5521/16058 = 0.3438

Based on this ratio, McDonald's is a better option as is it is providing higher return to its shareholders.

Final Conclusion: McDonald looks a better investment option for both a bond holder and a shareholder.

While visiting a client to deliver their 2019 tax documents, one of the owners approaches you and states: "The IRS says my travel is no longer business travel, but instead, is commuting. They are saying I am going to owe taxes on the money the company has reimbursed for my travel. I spend $1,500 per week traveling, and travel at least 50 weeks out of the year, traveling weekly to Houston on Monday, Los Angeles on Tuesday, Seattle on Wednesday, Chicago on Thursday, and Philadelphia on Friday. I leave my home in Atlanta early Monday morning, and on Friday night, I fly back to Atlanta, and my home. I visit different clients each time I visit the cities to which I travel. My job is to help them get their restaurants up and running, and I am usually there from start to finish, which takes anywhere from 3 to 9 months. I have been traveling like this for the past 10 years. That is a lot of money we are talking about. The IRS also said something about fraud, fines and penalties, maybe even jail time. Are they right? Can they send me to jail for doing my job? What should I do?"

Answers

Answer:

Commuting refers to travelling from your home to your workplace. It generally refers to the distance that people generally travel to get to their office or any type of workplace.

While business travel refers to not only leaving your house to go to work, but actually going somewhere else to perform your regular business activities, e.g. going form one state to another to close a sale. In order for business travel to be effectively recognized as such, it must be necessary for your business activity and it should last more than one ordinary workday.

In this case, your client continuously leaves his house and goes form one state to another performing his normal business activities. This perfectly fits the IRS's definition of business travel.

Initially, you can try to solve this issue with IRS Office of Appeals (since you are right), but if that doesn't work, then you can go to Tax Court.

Answer:

d.For each $2,500 payment received in the first year, Todd must include $1,000 in gross income

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Exclusion Ratio is

= Cost ÷ Benefit

= $150,000 ÷ ($2,500 × 100)

= 0.6

Now  

= 0.6 × $2,500  

= $1,500 Excludible

So, the involved amount is

= $2,500 - $1,500

= $1,000 Includible

Hence, the correct option is d. and the same is to be considered

Yuma, Inc. manufactures teddy bears and dolls. Currently, Yuma makes 2,100 teddy bears each month. Each teddy bear uses $3.50 in direct materials and $1.00 in direct labor. Yuma uses two activities in manufacturing the teddy bears: Sewing and Processing. The cost associated with Sewing is $15,750 a month, allocated on the basis of direct labor hours. The cost associated with Processing is $10,500 a month, allocated on the basis of batches. Teddy bears use 1/2 of the direct labor hours, and 35% of total batches. What is the total manufacturing cost for one teddy bear?

Answers

Answer:

$10.00

Explanation:

Calculation for the total manufacturing cost for one teddy bear

Total manufacturing cost=$3.50 + $1.00 + [($15,750 × 1/2)/2,100] + [($10,500 × 35%)/2,100]

Total manufacturing cost=$3.50 + $1.00 + ($7,875/2,100) + ($3,675/2,100)

Total manufacturing cost=$3.50 + $1.00 + $3.75+ $1.75

Total manufacturing cost=$10.00

Therefore the total manufacturing cost for one teddy bear will be $10.00

Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $28,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $28,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 11 percent on her investments. a. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $28,000 bill in December

Answers

Answer:

A. $17,640

B.$18,666

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $28,000 bill in December

First step is to find the Tax savings in current year

Tax savings in current year = $28,000*37%

Tax savings in current year = $10,360

Last step is to calculate for the After tax cost using this formula

After tax cost = Cost of bill - Tax savings

Let plug in the formula

After tax cost= $28,000-$10,360

After tax cost=$17,640

Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $28,000 bill in December will be $17,640

b. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $20,000 bill in January

First step is to find the Tax savings in next year

Tax savings in current year = $28,000*37%

Tax savings in current year = $10,360

Second step is to find the present value of $1 ($28,000/$28,000) at 11% for one year using present value table

Present value of $1 at 11% for one year = 0.901

Present value of tax savings = $10,360* .901

Present value of tax savings =$9,334.36

Last step is to calculate for the After tax cost using this formula

After tax cost = Cost of bill - Tax savings

Let plug in the formula

After tax cost = $28,000-$9,334.36

After tax cost=$18,665.64 approximately $18,666

Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $28,000 bill in January will be $18,666
