Answer:
$17.25 million
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what was Centipede's income tax payable currently, assuming a tax rate of 25%
Accounting income $80 Temporary difference
Less Depreciation ($15)
($35 - 20)
Add Warranty expense $4
($6 - $2)
Taxable income $69
($80-$15+$4)
Enacted tax rate 25%
Tax payable currently $17.25 million
($69$25%)
Therefore Centipede's income tax payable currently, assuming a tax rate of 25% will be $17.25 million
Bradford, Inc., expects to sell 11,000 ceramic vases for $21 each. Direct materials costs are $3, direct manufacturing labor is $11, and manufacturing overhead is $5 per vase. The following inventory levels apply to 2019: Beginning inventory Ending inventory Direct materials 1,000 units 1,000 units Work-in-process inventory 0 units 0 units Finished goods inventory 100 units 600 units On the 2019 budgeted income statement, what amount will be reported for sales
Answer:
$231,000
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the total sales would be;
= Number of units Bradford inc. Is expected to sell × Per unit of ceramic vases
Given that;
Units expected to be sold = 11,000
Per unit of ceramic vases = $21
Total sales
= 11,000 units × $21
= $231,000
Since we were asked to get the total sales, we will simply multiply the per units sold with the units expected to be sold. Other information are not useful for the purpose of calculating the total sales.
Corruptco is a large machine shop that fabricates metals. Corruptco maximizes profits and shareholder value by polluting the local river, where fish are often killed off due to the pollution, rather than installing a pollution abatement device. While this is not specifically in violation of the law, it does put burdens on the local community. Which theory of corporate social responsibility is Corruptco exhibiting
Answer: a. the narrow view, or invisible hand theory
Explanation:
When it comes to the narrow view theory of corporate social responsibility, companies put one thing above all else, the maximisation of shareholder wealth.
Any activity that would help them do so - legally - is considered fair game even if it leads to adverse effects. Corruptco is therefore adhering to this theory because they are polluting the the local river to maximize shareholder value.
According to the most favored nation clause (Article I of GATT), which of the following is true?
A. Tariffs on products imported from countries belonging to the WTO must be lower than tariffs on the same products imported from countries that are not members of the WTO.
B. A country can lower tariffs on imports from countries with most favored nation trading status without changing tariffs on imports from other members of the WTO.
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
D. If a country imposes higher tariffs on one trading partner, then those high tariffs must be imposed on all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Answer:
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Explanation:
The correct option is - C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Reason -
Most-favoured-nation (MFN): treating other people equally Under the WTO agreements, countries cannot normally discriminate between their trading partners. Grant someone a special favour (such as a lower customs duty rate for one of their products) and you have to do the same for all other WTO members.

Exercise 13-07 Nordstrom, Inc. operates department stores in numerous states. Suppose selected financial statement data (in millions) for 2020 are presented below. End of Year Beginning of Year Cash and cash equivalents $ 770 $ 69 Accounts receivable (net) 1,950 1,880 Inventory 810 860 Other current assets 590 331 Total current assets $4,120 $3,140 Total current liabilities $2,030 $1,640 For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million. Compute the current ratio, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= $4,120 / $2030
= 2.03
2. Accounts receivable Turnover:
= Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables
= 8,258 / (1950+1880 / 2)
= 8258 / 1915
= 4.31
3. Average Collection Period
= 365 / Account Receivable Turnover
= 365 / 4.31
= 84.69 Days
4. Inventory Turnover:
= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
= 5328 / (810+860 / 2)
= 5328 / 835
= 6.38 times
5. Days in Inventory:
= 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio
= 365 / 6.38
= 57.21 Days

Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company's operations.
Standard Custom
Direct labor costs $59,000 $112,000
Machine hours 1,380 1,110
Setup hours 101 370
Total estimated overhead costs are $309,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $200,000 and $109,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.
(a) Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach.
(b) Compute the overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach.
(c) Determine the difference between the two approaches.
Answer:
Saddle Inc.
a) The overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach is:
= $1.81 per direct labor cost.
b) The overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach:
Machining activity = $80.32
Machine setup activity = $231.42
c) The traditional approach overallocated total overhead by $515 than the activity-based approach.
Under the traditional approach, overhead allocated to the Custom product was $27,940 more than under the activity-based approach.
Similarly, under the activity-based approach, overhead allocated to the Standard product was $27,425 more than under the traditional approach.
The difference in the two being the overallocated overhead of $515 stated above.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated overhead costs = $309,000
Overhead allocated:
Machining activity = $200,000
Machine setup activity = $109,000
Standard Custom Total
Direct labor costs $59,000 $112,000 $ 171,000
Machine hours 1,380 1,110 2,490
Setup hours 101 370 471
Overhead rate using plantwide approach:
Total overhead/Total direct labor costs
= $309,000/$171,000 = $1.81 per direct labor cost
Overhead rates, using activity-based costing:
Machining activity = $80.32 ($200,000/2,490)
Machine setup activity = $231.42 ($109,000/471)
Overhead Allocation
Standard Custom Total
Plantwide $106,790 $202,720 $309,510
($59,000 * $1.81) ($112,000 * $1.81)
Activity-based:
Machining $110,842 $89,155 $199,997
(1,380 * $80.32) (1,110 * $80.32)
Machine setup 23,373 85,625 108,998
(101 * $231.42) (370 * $231.42)
Total costs $134,215 $174,780 $308,995
Difference $27,425 $27,940 $515

Comet Company accumulated the following account information for the year: Beginning raw materials inventory $ 5,100 Indirect materials cost 1,100 Indirect labor cost 4,100 Maintenance of factory equipment 1,900 Direct labor cost 6,100 Using the above information, total factory overhead costs equal:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given that ;
Beginning raw materials inventory
= $5,100
Indirect materials cost = $1,100
Indirect labor cost = $4,100
Maintenance of factory equipment = $1,900
Direct labor cost = $6,100
Factory overhead = Indirect materials + indirect labor + maintenance of factory equipment
Factory overhead = $1,100 + $4,100 + $1,900
Factory overhead = $7,100

The law of diminishing returns states that as additional increments of resources ______________, the marginal benefit from those additional increments _______________. Select the correct answer below: are reduced, will decline eventually are added; will decline eventually are added; will increase eventually are reduced; will remain the same
Answer:
are added; will decline eventually
Explanation:
the point of diminishing returns sets in when the optimum capacity has been attained. at this level, increasing production by any extra unit would only bring about little or Fall in output.
if we hold the other factors of production constant/fixed while increasing one input, we will get toa stage where more additions of this input by one unit would only bring about decrease in output or cause output to fall.
therefore in summary this law States that as more increments are added, marginal benefit from increments declines eventually.
Suppose the elasticity of demand for tickets to Broadway shows is 2.0 for men and 0.3 for women. To use price discrimination to increase profits, the producers should charge lower prices to _____ because their demand is more _____. men; inelastic than that of women women; inelastic than that of men women; elastic than that of men men; elastic than that of women
Answer:
men; elastic than that of women
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Men have an elastic demand for tickets to Broadway shows
Women have an inelastic demand for tickets to Broadway shows
Since men have an elastic demand, if prices are reduced, the demand for tickets would increase and total profits of producers would increase
Creighton Bicycles and Repair conducted a survey and discovered that among customers who had tried both bike shops, its successful cross-town competition was preferred about 75% of the time. The most frequently cited reason was customer service. This information would be most helpful to introduce to employees during which stage of Lewin's change model
Answer:
Creighton Bicycles and Repair
This information would be most helpful to introduce to employees during Unfreezing stage of Lewin's change model.
Explanation:
The unfreezing stage is the best time to introduce information that challenges the status quo because it will help to prepare Creighton Bicycles and Repair employees to accept that change is inevitable. Creighton Bicycles and Repair should not be satisfied with 75% when it can attain 100% preference for its cross-town competition and other measurable indices. The unfreezing stage convinces organization people that things must change. This information cannot be introduced during the change stage or the refreezing stage.
Suppose the working age population of a fictional economy, Jessica Town, falls into the following categories: 100 are retired homemakers; 50 have full-time employment; 15 have part-time employment; 28 do not have employment but are actively looking for employment; and 16 would like employment but do not have employment and are not actively looking for employment. The official unemployment rate as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor would equal:_________
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.
The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is able and willing to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.
Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed
= 93 people
Unemployment rate:
= 28 / 93 * 100
= 30.1%
The price of Microsoft is $37 per share and that of Apple is $43 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $42 per share after one year and to $47 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $49 after one year and to $59 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return in year 1 and year 2
Answer: 13.75% ; 16.48%
Explanation:
Year 0:
Microsoft: Current value = 100 at $37 = $3700
Apple: Current value = 100 at $43 = $4300
Portfolio value = $3700 + $4300 = $8000
Year 1:
Microsoft: value at year 1 = 100 at $42 = $4200
Apple: value at year 1= 100 at $49 = $4900
Portfolio value = $4200 + $4900 = $9100
Year 2:
Microsoft: value at year 2 = 100 at $47 = $4700
Apple: value at year 2 = 100 at $59 = $5900
Portfolio value = $4700 + $5900 = $10600
Therefore, Portfolio returns for year 1 will be:
= (value at the end of year 1 / current value) - 1
= (9100 / 8000) - 1
= 1.1375 - 1
= 0.1375

Imagine Two Households each with an income of $65,000 per year. Household A consists of two married individuals both 51 years old with one child who is now 27 years old and out of the house. Household B consists of two married individuals who are 31 years old and have three young children, two of which attend day care. The Government in implementing policies to effect Tax Fairness will concentrate on:
Answer: A. The Benefits Principle
Explanation:
According to the Benefits Received principle, people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from the government. This is how the government will effect tax fairness.
For example, Household B has three young children, two of which are in day care while Household A does not have any children at that age. Household A and Household B should therefore not pay the same when it comes to educational taxes. Household B should pay more and Household A should pay less because an educated society is beneficial to everyone but to them, only indirectly.
The government, when carrying out tax equity, will focus on the principle of benefits, as shown in option A.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The principle of benefits is considered whenever the government needs to determine the tax rate of citizens.This principle determines that people who use a particular social service must pay a higher tax rate than those who do not use that service.An example of this can be seen in the families presented above, since, in relation to the tax paid to promote national education, both families must be taxed, since the entire population benefits from this service.
However, family B benefits more from this service, as they have three children who need education promoted by the government, unlike family A, who has an adult child and who have already graduated.
According to the principle of benefits, both families must pay taxes for education, but family B must pay a higher tax than family A.

Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next five months: August September October November December Forecasted Demand (units of finished goods): 1,500,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 500,000 Production Plan: 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 1,000 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 5 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 150 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay. What will be ending inventory for the month of September?
Answer:
Livingston Fabrication
The ending inventory for the month of September is:
= 600,000 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
August September October November December
Forecasted Demand (units of
finished goods): 1,500,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 500,000
Production Plan: 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000 2,000,000
Production capacity = 150 * 60 * 1,000 = 9,000,000 minutes
Minutes required by each assembly worker to assemble 1 unit = 5
Units that can be produced based on capacity = 1,800,000 units (9,000,000/5)
Schedule of Production, Sales, and Ending Inventory:
August September October November December
Beginning inventory 0 300,000 600,000 400,000 (600,000)
Units produced 1,800,000 1,800,000 1,800,000 1,800,000 1,800,000
Demand 1,500,000 1,500,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 500,000
Ending inventory 300,000 600,000 400,000 (600,000) 700,000

Epsilon Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8 Direct labor 24 Overhead 40 Total costs per unit $72 An outside supplier offers to provide Epsilon with all the units it needs at $60 per unit. If Epsilon buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 40% of its overhead (this means that no matter what Epsilon does, 40% of the overhead costs will remain). Epsilon should choose to:
Answer:
It is cheaper to make the units in-house.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Make in-house:
Direct material $ 8
Direct labor 24
Overhead 40
Total costs per unit $72
Buying price= $60
We need to determine which option provides the lower cost. Because 40% of overhead will remain constant, we have to take it out of the equation.
Production cost:
Direct material $ 8
Direct labor 24
Overhead= 40*0.6= 24
Total production cost= $56
It is cheaper to make the units in-house.
